I rented this book for a class that I was taking so I did not select it but having now read this book, I would highly recommend it. I used to for my class and to prepare for the security plus exam. The book had all the basic material you would expect in a well written manner but what made it really great in my opinion was the extras at the end of each chapter. There would be a section with tasks and links of where to try out the various tools that each chapter was discussing. My instructor only used the text but I also did these extras and found them to be the one of the best parts of the book.

Awesome book for learning cyber-security, and it also has many stories, comments, and examples of programs available for free today on the internet that you can use to help secure your own technology. If Amazon wasn't paying me tens of dollars to trade-in the book, I would have kept it for myself!

Reviewed in the United States on 3 November 2015

Needed this book for an IT security concepts class. Overall the book is well structured, where the basics of IT security are laid out and then each chapter introduces new concepts that build on that initial framework. Similarly, it's a great overview of core security concepts, it's a very easy text to read, and the author goes to great lengths to easily explain the more difficult to understand subjects (e.g. cryptography and secure communications).

The only minor hiccup I encountered is that early chapters start heavily referencing networking protocols, but the chapter that goes in depth regarding protocols is about half-way through the text. It's not a major problem, since detailed explanations of the protocols eventually come, but it may be a bit bothersome initially if this is your first introduction to anything in the IT, networking, and/or IT security realm.
