Foundations of Information Security provides readers with fundamental knowledge of information security in both theoretical and practical aspects. Each chapter explores one main security concept, lists scenarios in which the concept is applicable, and discusses the implementation of that concept in detail, often by going over rival models or strategies. Readers will come away with a sense of what types of assets need protecting, what kinds of risks exist, and what kinds of defensive measures can be taken.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book is an excellent starting point for future security professionals but also network and system administrators."
-Help Net Security
"A thorough overview for many different areas within security. The author explains what and more importantly why, then illustrates each concept with concrete, realistic examples. Definitely a great addition to any security engineer's library, but also less technical people who want to learn more about common topics like defense in depth."
-Seth Foley
"If you're new to info security or are looking to refresh your knowledge, then this is an ideal book. It's easy to read and makes the information fun to consume."
-HaXez, Blogger and YouTuber
