3.0 out of 5 stars Just started to read, good impression, however, extra content not avialable to me
Verified PurchaseThe book is of high quality, worth the 100ish $AUDI paid for a paper version. I am disappointed ordering through Amazon, I don't seem to have access to extra online content promised in the book though.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I Needed
Verified PurchaseWhat can I say about the Network Security Essentials textbook that hasn't already been said? It's...a textbook. It...contains pertinent information about NetSec. It...is really heavy. Seriously, it was the exact book I needed, if you searched by ISBN then have no fear, it's the book you're looking for!
