This book would have been really interesting, if I knew what I was reading. We have gotten to the point in my major where I'll get more from reading Spanish. Heaven help me.

Its a college level textbook would have loved to see it get to the point.

[Asher Manangan · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a concise overview of fundamental knowledge relating to the terminologies and proper handling regarding compromise data and how to mitigate these risks. It also includes the need of organization to develop proper policies in order to make the flow of the transactions smoothly as possible. It explains cryptography, several types of malicious attacks and how hackers infiltrate the system using different methods. This book my Kim and Solomon are best for student and professionals who want to have a background regarding information security.

Overall, I thought this was a good textbook. I was already familiar with many of the topics it covered, but I still learned and solidified some knowledge as I read. It was mandatory reading for college, but not the kind of mandatory reading that you have to drag yourself to read.

This was my first foray into ISEC so I don't have much to compare this book to. Still if this had not been assigned for my information security class I don't think I would have picked this book up. Seems a little bit out of date, and not quite as well organized as some of my other textbooks.
