5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Shipping Time, May 27, 2009
I needed the item for class, and I was three weeks in to the class and didn't have the book yet. So I researched and decided to go with this company, I'm definitely glad I did.

Thanks for shipping it so fast. It arrived around the same time as a book I ordered 2 weeks prior.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good overview of the security terms, August 16, 2008
By Donald Hsu (NYC, United States) - See all my reviews
I used this book for a University course on Information System Security. The chapters on firewall, wireless security, VPN, E-mail security, and monitoring are good. The "hands-on" projects are very useful if you do not have Check Point software installed for the class. I will recommend this book to all.
