Editorial Reviews

Review

The authors faced a forbidding task of making the latest version relevant, but they have succeeded. The book has been revamped not only in content but in organization as well. ...it provides an excellent entree into and update on a wide variety of issues. It is clear why the book had reached its seventh edition. - Security Management

Book Description

THE definitive resource for anyone entering or currently working in the security industry

This review is from: Introduction to Security, Seventh Edition (Hardcover)
I disagree with whomever wrote this text was outdated. There are many valuable concepts in this book and I can't think of anything in this book that can't be applied to security today. It may be missing some of the new technologies but everything in it is still current.

It is a good read and well organized. I picked this up for an Intro to Security class in college.

3.0 out of 5 stars Got textbook for class, December 3, 2007
By 
This review is from: Introduction to Security, Seventh Edition (Hardcover)
It is an OK introduction to security. It covers many aspects. Some chapters have too many quotes. At times it seems like a student's research paper turned into a book.
It shipped much earlier than indicated. I could have used super saver shipping and got it in time and got free shipping.
