Introduction to Computer Security

I could not imagine that the process of processing my order is is slow. It took more than a week just only to process my order. I would consider of buying book again on this site!

This is one of the best books I ever read.

Chapters in the book explain concepts difficult to understand. Need to look for more references in order to understand well.

The only people who hate security systems more than the end users who have to put up with a badly designed system are those who want to break into systems that have good security.

Security for computer systems is very real and growing problem. Far beyond the virus that might come on an e-mail, white collar crime is much more expensive than other kinds. A grocery store holdup might net a few hundred dollars, a bank robbery a few thousand, the average white collar crime is in the hundreds of thousands. And the price of information may be worth life itself as in the case of the Enigma codes in World War II.

This book is balanced at at interesting level above the how to and below the highly theoretical. It has some of the theory, and some of the how to. More important, it explains the why and the how, the broad concepts that enable a manager concerned with security, or the new security manager to set up an effective system that is tailored to the risk, the company, the employees, and others who might have some access to their computer system.

I would rate this book at an intermediate level to move the reader higher up the professional scale. Highly recommended.

Even though that the book lacks illustration diagrams, I learned a lot from it. I am a computer engineering student in KFUPM and this book is used as a text book for a Computer Security course – COE 449. It is a good choice for beginners in computer security.
