The New State of the Art in Information Security: Now Covers Cloud Computing, the Internet of Things, and Cyberwarfare

Students and IT and security professionals have long relied on Security in Computing as the definitive guide to computer security attacks and countermeasures. Now, the authors have thoroughly updated this classic to reflect today’s newest technologies, attacks, standards, and trends.

Security in Computing, Fifth Edition, offers complete, timely coverage of all aspects of computer security, including users, software, devices, operating systems, networks, and data. Reflecting rapidly evolving attacks, countermeasures, and computing environments, this new edition introduces best practices for authenticating users, preventing malicious code execution, using encryption, protecting privacy, implementing firewalls, detecting intrusions, and more. More than two hundred end-of-chapter exercises help the student to solidify lessons learned in each chapter.

Combining breadth, depth, and exceptional clarity, this comprehensive guide builds carefully from simple to complex topics, so you always understand all you need to know before you move forward.

You’ll start by mastering the field’s basic terms, principles, and concepts. Next, you’ll apply these basics in diverse situations and environments, learning to ”think like an attacker” and identify exploitable weaknesses. Then you will switch to defense, selecting the best available solutions and countermeasures. Finally, you’ll go beyond technology to understand crucial management issues in protecting infrastructure and data.

New coverage includes

A full chapter on securing cloud environments and managing their unique risks
Extensive new coverage of security issues associated with user―web interaction
New risks and techniques for safeguarding the Internet of Things
A new primer on threats to privacy and how to guard it
An assessment of computers and cyberwarfare–recent attacks and emerging risks
Security flaws and risks associated with electronic voting systems

Poor quality, good content

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for use in a couple of classes in a cybersecurity master's degree program. The content of the book is very useful...it's not just classroom material. However, this edition is poor quality. The paper is very low quality and the print is faint. It has a legend on the cover that it is not to be distributed outside Indian subcontinent (I do not live anywhere near). I really wish I had returned this book when I received it. It would be nice to have a decent quality copy, as I plan to use it as a reference going forward.

economy version of a cybersecurity introductory book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Is a good investment if you are price sensitive and do not mind some printing and paper defects. As for the book contents is really high in abstraction and does a good job explaining concepts and gives historical attacks examples through the book.

Good International Version

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have had issues with international versions before, but not with this one. The pages are copied well and from what I can tell, all the pages are there.
I took one star off for a few reasons...
1. This is the international version so it is technically illegal to sell in the US
2. some of the pages come out. I just carefully tuck them back in. but if I wasn't careful, I could easily loose a bunch of pages...

Long chapters

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Chapters over 90 pages long make it quite difficult to stay engaged, especially when attempting to also take notes. A lot of the end chapter questions are annoying to answer and you must go on a hunt to find a very brief unclear answer, or better yet no answer at all and you must simply infer the knowledge and hope it's right. Do you like re-reading the same sections over and over trying to decipher the answer to a question? If so then this book is for you. Or maybe it's just required.

Had to get this book for college. You can easily understand the terminology within the book and they did a great job of that. I definitely walked away remembering parts from the book.

I used this text book for my Security in Computing class at my job. It is very comprehensive and covers a wide breadth of areas and builds up to application/network security. Great book. Can't go wrong with this one!

Contains all the content - Indian product not for sale in the UK though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

Has all the content and much cheaper than UK versions, however it is not for distribution in UK and no coloured pictures ("genuine" stickers used to cover up text saying not for sale outside of India and Bangladesh).

Stale and repetitive content.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

This outdated 2015 book is still being used in cybersecurity courses...in 2022.

The writing is horrible and reads like a university group assignment written at the last minute with very little editing.

The authors continually go off on tangents making this book needlessly long.

A painful and boring read.

Too bad I can't return it.

Text Book for Uni

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on March 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

for me it's a Uni textbook, so no choice in the matter.
It is written in an old fashioned style and full of anecdotes/scenarios that some people might find useful for context and others will find a waste of study time. It is very factual, reasonably up-to-date (given it was published in 2015) and very easy to quote. It seems to describe things twice or, repeat them in different chapters, which can be confusing/frustrating but, does save going back to other chapters all the time.

Re: buying this on Amazon
Kindle Cloud Reader doesn't show the page numbers and Amazon says that this is up to the publishers but, when I look at the epub version on my Uni website there are page numbers. Can't do Uni references without page numbers, so won't be risking any more Amazon purchases for Uni Textbooks. Mind you, 3 different eBook sources (Pearson, Booktopia and the iPad version of Kindle) report 3 different total number of pages.
