5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent starting point for someone wanting to use free security tools in the workplace, October 12, 2007
I think this book is the only one to cover such a broad variety of free security tools. It focuses in particular on the pros and cons of using them in a business setting, including details such as the availability of support, functionality, and ease of use.

There are some very useful grids or feature matrices when a specific product category offers multiple solutions. These are very useful as they allow you to tell at a glance which products have what features. From there you can quickly rule out the products which do not meet your needs.

Grab one at a book store and flip through it, the writing is easy to digest and "friendly" without sounding too clinical.
