Reviews

[Chris · Rating 2 out of 5]

Being in the middle of the class the book is lacking as an effective study guide for the test.

[Marco Ermini · Rating 2 out of 5]

Do not use it to prepare the GIAC GSEC exam. This book is outdated. Check the book from Eric Cole Sans Giac Certification: Security Essentials Toolkit instead.
