Also great reference book. It is not for someone who has already had a course in network security (except as a reference book) as it is a pretty low level book. It is easy to read and follow. Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent book at an introductory level. Not much technical. But gives a brief overview of most of the security terminologies . This is perhaps one of the best books to start with.

Hi,
I am working in IT Securiy field , and was a fan of this book’s first edition. He also did a great job for second edition.
I was about to conduct a internal training class (Basic ITSec.) for my IT colleagues here and use his 2nd edition as primary source material.
I have found no typo nor technical error in this book and the only negative point for me is that the “Hacker Techniques” & “Type of attack ” chapters comes too early as they should appear after CIAA was disscused. Maybe this is the author’s style to make this book more colorful but I personally think make learning experience in ITSEc. a little deviate.
Still , this book is worth buying. Rating: 4 / 5

I am pretty new to the network security world. This book is a great guide to the very basic ways of securing a network. My main goal was to find out more about securing my network from outside attackers, and this book hit the nail on the head. I highly recommend it to beginners and intermediate network professional.

I originally bought the book because it was less than 10 bucks, and I wanted a good overview of network security. The book is written fairly well, but it’s main focus is security policy and legal issues with a general overview of some network security technology.
I have been in IT for around 6 years now, the last 2 I spent working on Military/DoD networks, so I already have a sound networking background. This book’s intended audience seems to be aimed more toward the executive/management type who does not have much technical experience. I believe a better title for this book would have been “Network Security Policy Making: A Beginners Guide”. If you security needs are more for creating sound policy & procedures this is a good for you, the more technical minded should seek elsewhere. Rating: 4 / 5
