Customer Rating: 
Summary: BEGINNER book
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good for beginner , but a bit unorganized for me
Comment: 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.

Summary: More about policy & procedure implementation than technical
Comment: 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.

Summary: excellent introduction to security and its issues
Comment: 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.

Summary: Geat book for begginers
Comment: 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.

There is no sorcery to implementing proper information security, and the concepts that are included in this fully updated second edition are not rocket science. Build a concrete foundation in network security by using this hands-on guide. Examine the threats and vulnerabilities of your organization and manage them appropriately. Includes new chapters on firewalls, wireless security, and desktop protection. Plus, plenty of up-to-date information on biometrics, Windows.NET Server, state laws, the U.S. Patriot Act, and more.
