I was looking for a book or handbook that could show me and could tell me about all issues based on certification CISA and CISM of ISACA. So, I found on Amazon.co.uk this way and now I am glad and proud of having that book. Because in my country it is very difficult to buy a special book like this. Thanks to Internet and amazon.co.uk I found it.

Good try
5 Jun 2009
Format:Hardcover
If your goal is to pass the CISSP exam, this book may help, but there are better books out there. If your goal is to actually dig deep into the security domains, this book contains a vast collection of security related topics that may help you reach that goal.
I gave it a 2 star because I was disappointed at the number of errors and omissions I discovered in this book, for example chapter 4 has 4 dates for ITGI's begining which are all wrong, Chapter 8 has the correct date. as matter of fact if I was the editor of the book, I would remove the entire chapter 4. I was happy to see Kevin Henry bring up the "placement of security" but he does not take it far enough. So chapter 14 we are back to "IT" based information security. I think it is time for security experts to start writing outside the box, most companies have confidential information that is not "IT" related, take contracts as an example.
Chapter 76 "Intrusion in information system security simply means the attempts or actions of unauthorized entry into an IT system. " really!, this is 1990's way of thinking Gildas Deograt-Lumy Roy Naldo Please read The Art of Intrusion by Kevin D. Mitnick.
I would write a book describing all that is wrong with this book, only if I had the time and writing skills some of which was wasted reading this book, Oh by the way Mr.Ralph Spencer Poore, there are so many exciting new standards coming up with cryptographic key management you should have and could have written about, such as the 1619.3, but I guess I have to read yet another book to learn about it.

Dated but Informative
25 Feb 2012
Format:Hardcover
I am using this book as it was in the required materials for my degree in IT Security. The principles of many of the practices hasn't changed, but I feel that this book is more of a history lesson when it comes to the application side of things. For instance, it brings up many of the different tools used by both hackers and security professionals, but I found at least 50% of them were no longer maintained or used any more. Even though this book is from 2007, a lot of the tips for different tools to use involves tools that haven't been updated or maintained since the late 1990's or early 2000's. Many of the hyperlinks are long dead and gone, and I wonder if they even existed upon this book's printing. It does bring up some of the big names that are still around, and will continue to be, but I was hoping for more than that.
It is a fairly easy read and is modular, but after I have used it for my courses I won't be keeping it for reference. It is far too dated.

Information Security Handbook, Six Edition
22 Dec 2011
Format:Hardcover
The book arrived on time and in excellent condition for a class I was enrolled in. IT was an easy read although long but has the information laid out in a too easy to understand language, not overly technical, which made it easy to read and understand.
