Not recommended as a reference book
28 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
For a book at such price and an encompassing title, it is disappointing to see Biba Integrity Model is listed as "Bibra Integrity Model." This is just wrong.
There are no listing for Common Criteria, nor Rainbow Series, ITSEC, TCSEC. For people in the Infosec industry, these are big tag items quite hard to miss.
Do not expect to find Clark-Wilson Model, Lattice based model, oh, and if you want to know what TLS is? please see SSL, puuuffff...
My recommendation is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK! Stick to your good'ol browser and start with wikipedia. It would give you much more fortified knowledge in Information Security.

IT help
12 July 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I brought this book to help me with basic terms in Information Technology. I haven't really had the chance to use it as much as I would like but for the price I paid for it I think it is a good buy for IT beginners.
