Reader Reviews
This review is from: Principles of Information Security (Paperback) I'm using this book for an introductory college course to Information Security. The book has a ton of content covering every aspect of the subject, but not well written for the introductory person. I'm very knowledgable of computers, but this book requires a different type of knowledge. Have a basis in information technology before checking out this book. Comment | | (Report this)
