A "must have" for InfoSec newbies and professionals.

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 1999

This book makes an excellent addition to anyone in the field of information security. It is very thorough in content, discussing computer security from many angles based on four principles: Integrity, Availability, Control and Auditability. Not for the light reader, but makes a great reference, and an excellent basis for creating a solid security design. I've often heard this book referred to as "big blue". Must have.
