Reviews
Although the book is targeted at students taking the CISMP examination, I would still recommend this book for any IT professional wishing to understand more about information security. The language used in the book is very accessible, so I would also recommend it to any senior manager wishing to understand the basics. If you want an excellent introduction to information security you could do worse than buying a copy of this book. Highly recommended. -- John Hughes * InfoSec Skills *
