That is obviously not a good thing as WEP is easily broken and has been ...

ByGoddessofcodeon November 6, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

These books are still decent. I say books as it comes as one enormous book or 4 slightly less enormous books. I have the 4 separate books. You have to keep in mind their age with certain things. One of the chapters for instance recommends using WEP. That is obviously not a good thing as WEP is easily broken and has been for years. The theoretical stuff is written well, just take the technical pieces with a grain of salt.

Good book

Byrabbit-sk8on February 18, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this book for one of my classes. It is good but some chapters go over the same topics as prior chapters, and others are outdated. It also has 3000 pages. Yes, 3000! I am sure it is possible to summarize many ideas and make it smaller.

Great Reference Book

ByN.Noaon June 7, 2014

Format: Hardcover

I had to buy this book for my Bachelor Degree, and I am still using it today for my Graduate degree. This book is my favorite book on my book shelf, and I use it as a reference every time I have to write a paper on Information Security. Tipton and Krause organize this book very well, and it is easy to navigate through the book to find exactly what you need to know on the subject matter. The book is very expensive; however, the vast wealth of information in the book cannot be matched. I highly recommend this book if your education is in Information Security even if it has not been assigned as one of your books you need to purchase for class. This book will be used way into a professional career. A lot of pages on very thin paper, and packed with enough information all in one book.

Solid (and heavy)

ByNyago123on February 21, 2008

Format: Hardcover

I have the Sixth Edition. Yes, it is 3000+ pages and is printed on wafer thin paper.

The content is excellent for security professionals, particularly those at the management level. There are 220+ articles within the 10 (ISC)2 domains on a wide variety of topics. Most of the stuff is higher level but just technical enough for you to have confidence in the concepts presented. It would probably be typical that you'd read an article in here for one of three reasons: background research for an immediate decision that doesn't require detailed technical knowledge; introduction to concepts that will require further in-depth research; or research for a presentation to senior management, in which case you'd have to distill and simplify conceptually (something you're probably already used to).

You will find multiple articles on single topics- some more complete than others, and potentially with a variety of perspectives, so you'll have to make your own calls on what's presented. It's not a "InfoSec Management for Dummies" book that will give you easy answers to your problem or a step-by-step "how to implement an InfoSec program" guide; it's more like an encyclopedia for research that you can use to factor into making your own, independent decisions. For example, there's not a lot of specifics on actual risk assessment techniques, but there are high level articles on the principles.

I wish each of the individual articles were specifically dated so I'd know the time context; seeing a statement like "the position of CISO was virtually unheard of five years ago" or even "80 percent of companies monitor their employees' email" means less without knowing when the article was written.

I could probably find a lot of similar information Googling for it, but Google doesn't seem to be what it once was (or the Internet for that matter... so much for the days of shared research) and my time is too valuable to spend a lot of it culling through blogs, noisy forums, and marketing junk disguised as whitepapers to get this information.

For the record, I have passed the CISSP exam. I did not use this book, nor would I recommend it as a study guide. I bought this particular book because I needed it as a reference for my work. If you mastered this book cover to cover and didn't read anything else, you'd probably do OK on the exam, but there are far more efficient means to getting there.

An absolute "must-have" for information security professionals

ByMidwest Book Reviewon June 7, 2008

Format: Hardcover

Now in its sixth updated edition, Information Security Management Handbook is an in-depth reference for business executives and professionals as well as a technical resource for information management experts. Essays written by a diversity of expert authors cover complex issues of information security management: the latest laws and regulations designed to force corporations to strengthen their ethics policies, risk assessments, metrics, disaster recovery, and much more. From the many different types and uses of cryptography, to effective implementation of physical security from guard personnel to closed-circuit television, to security in computer architecture, to telecommunications and network security, Information Security Management Handbook lives up to its title. An extensive glossary and index round out this massive reference, featuring over three thousand pages of expertise distilled in terms accessible to lay readers and professionals alike. "Password cracking would include cryptographic and brute-force attacks against password files, applying massive amounts of computer power to overwhelm the cryptographic protection of the passwords, typically in a remote or offline mode. Password guessing would include users attempting to guess the passwords to specific accounts, based on analysis and conjecture, and would typically be conducted through the password interface in an online mode. Password disclosure would include users sharing password credentials, or writing down passwords such that they are discoverable by an attacker." An absolute "must-have" for information security professionals, and anyone else responsible for ensuring that trade secrets stay secret!

too thick

The book should be published in 3 volumes. It is just too thick, imagine flipping through 3000++ pages. The quality of the paper used is very poor too.Read more
