From the Publisher

Get Ahead with Principles of Information Security!

Information security: let’s be real.

The text illustrates that information security in the modern organization is a problem for management to solve and not a problem that technology alone can answer-a problem that has important economic consequences, for which management is held accountable.

Get what you need.

Up-to-date managerial content equips you with general but valuable information without bogging you down with extraneous, highly specific details.

Real world practice.

Understand the relevance of what you are learning as the text includes hands-on examples of information security issues, tools, and practices implemented in today's organizations.

Gauge your comprehension.

Chapters end with a Summary, Review Questions and Exercises that give you the opportunity to examine the information security arena outside the classroom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive
Reviewed in the United States on 23 October 2020

I have used this book for two separate courses on information security. It is an easy read that is comprehensive in giving an introduction to the different aspects of the field. Some of the chapters can get a little dry- but there are some topics in any professional text that just really cannot be written in a way that will engender page turning excitement- so I can't hold that against the authors. The book does a nice job of highlighting key words that are important to focus on and presenting the definitions separately as a quick reference or review. Overall, it is a decent text on the subject of information security that rents for a reasonable price.
