Customer Reviews

A reasonable overview but sketchy in places3
This book is an accessible introduction to information security for the CISSP exam. The jokey tone may grate on some readers. All domains are covered, some better than others. There is more detail on telecommunications than most areas, as is only appropriate. The law domain addresses US law almost exclusively and makes some very bad slips such as using criminal law terms when discussing civil law.

Most readers will want to use this as a support to their studies rather than the central plank: for that the official guide from (ISC)2 would be far better (as it should be being far longer).

An excellent primer5
The CISSP requires you to know a great deal of information, this book doesn't contain it all however it does make the information it provides very accesible. I read through this book to understand all the concepts and issues then moved onto a another book to fill in the gaps. That said, I do feel that this is an excellent primer book and a great first sweep through the 10 CBK domains.
