CISSP Guide to Security Essentials Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Peter Gregory is a prolific author and well-known computer security professional who is also very active in the information security community. Peter wrote this book to address the current situation in information security, which is stated in the Introduction, as "There aren't enough good security professionals to go around". Information security is a broad field with many sub disciplines. Many professionals feel they should know more about security, but don't know where to start. Peter's book is an attempt to change that situation by providing the foundational materials that every security professional needs to know before undertaking advanced or specialized study. The book is suitable for self-study or as a classroom text. Each chapter has a summary, a glossary of key terms, review questions, hands-on projects, and ideas for case projects. For those interested in obtaining the CISSP, they will find this book a good place to start. The strength of this book lies in its organization and clarity. The book's ten chapters map to the ten CISSP Common Body of Knowledge Domains. Each chapter is broken into many subheadings, with an outline-style organization that clarifies each distinct topic. Acronyms are defined in the text and in the glossaries, which are presented in each chapter and at the end of the book. There are two appendices. One appendix provides summary outlines of the ten domains of CISSP security; the other reproduces the code of ethics of CISSP professionals. The Introduction reviews the steps needed to obtain CISSP certification and, together with the code of ethics, gives a good sense of the knowledge, behavior, and attitude necessary to succeed as a security professional. A CD-ROM containing practice questions for the CISSP exam is included. No single book can provide all you need to know to be a CISSP, but this is a good place to start.
