Mmmm. Meaty.
9 May 2004
Format:Paperback
This is the fourth and best book I've read on the Security+ exam content. It's a little dry, but it includes the subject matter needed to pass the certification exam. It also includes content included in the SSCP, which eases the transition to CISSP. I've met the author, a former Navy rocket scientist, and he is a knowledgeable expert in the subject area. Take a look at the team that put this book together, and you will see more PhDs and Master's degrees than at a Star Trek convention. It's a little light on firewalls, proxy servers, viruses, and VPN, but generally better the competition and worth the money. Unlike some of the other books on the subject, I will be keeping this one as a part of my library.

Easy Read for a Textbook :)
10 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
Out of all the textbooks that I have had to read, this is the easiest!!!! Its great (it might help that i love computers and the facts of law and especially SECURITY of ones self)! If you want to know your computer security facts get this book.
P.S. I am currently in School for network security and this subject is taught by one of the only 15 master computer forensics agents in the US along with the best computer security teacher in tidewater, and this book is the best that they have found to teach the material!

Dry topic made so much more dry

The word Beyond in its title should be removed. There is little beyond the basics and history of the subject. Too much of the book is spent on the past that we will not be revisited and very little on the present or future. You cannot expect a text book to be completly current but you can expect it to be vital.
