Reader Reviews
The book is not the best book on IT Security Management and is not for someone wanting to learn something about IT security. It lacks an introduction to put the entire book in context. The main process presented for reviewing and resolving the security in a IT system is based on an 1990's NSA methodology, INFOSEC Evaluation Methodology, which is not used outside of the Intelligence community, because it is too expensive and strict. It only provides a paragraph on the most commonly used standards from the National Standards and Technology Institute (NIST Special Publication 37) and the ISO/IEC 27000 series. As a reference, the book is unusable as a reference because of the large Table of Contents (31 pages) and the unreadable Index.
