2.0 out of 5 stars not what you expect, June 30, 2001

By 

jack koziol (s. barrington, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Information Security Management Handbook, Fourth Edition, Volume II (Hardcover)

I bought this book hoping it would give a good outline to what would be on the cissp exam. It really isnt. The authors collected a bunch of articles they didnt write, and threw them into the 10 CBK categories. The articles themselves are interesting and good, but it wont really prep you for the exam. It is obvious that they wanted to take advantage of persons wishing to pass the CISSP, and threw together a bunch of [junk]. Im sure you could find every article in this book on the internet somewhere. I would recommed getting the free open study guides at cccure.org instead of this. Dont listen to the other reviewers, they are obviously authors or authors friends.

This 2nd volume is an excellent study guide for CISSP or simply a desk reference for any security professional. Each chapter has excellent focus and technical detail.

I highly recommend this book as an excellent security guild.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did I get a bad copy?, September 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Information Security Management Handbook, Fourth Edition, Volume II (Hardcover)

I have read the 1st 150 pages. The references to exhibits are all messed up - the discussion of radius, diameter and tacacs servers is brutal. They seem to keep replacing the three interchangebly clearly making mistakes. And to top it off only 9 domains are included? I think something must be wrong with the copy I received.
