This book successfully combines and clearly presents the informational needs of CIOs, CISOs, new users, auditors, and expert administrators.

Right from the first page this book highlights the basic security principles of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability and carries that message through to the end. Carol Woodbury uses great real world examples to relate security situations to simply understood everyday situations.

Amazingly, it doesn't just contain general information but has the deep knowledge and tips from overall system security to users and groups to object security and more. Systems administrators will find the highlighted "Technical Notes" stand out on the page - which makes for easy use and quick reference.

You can use the "Security Recommendation" notes for quick reference and as I proceeded through the book I realized they could be condensed as the security guidelines for IBM i in our company.

Compliance is a huge effort for our team today and it was great to find a book that understands the complexity involved in getting there. The guidelines set out here help us to convey the right ideas to our executives on how to move forward with that effort.

In summary, IBM i & i5/OS Security & Compliance was well written, easy to read, and simple to understand. All the members of your security team need this book and will probably wear it out.

Carol is tops as an expert in security! She is the personification of integrity! And, she is an awesome lady! God bless you, Carol, as people use this book to protect their businesses. Anne Lucas
