Securing Business Information: Strategies to Protect the Enterprise and Its Network (IT Best Practices series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Of all the security books I've read this one stands out as the best for two reasons: (1) it lays out what is needed and the steps to take to develop an enterprise security policy in a clear, logical sequence, and (2) there no gaps in the proposed process.

Computer Security: Principles and Practice Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Stallings and Brown directs the book at a computer professional, who might be a programmer or system administrator. The book deliberately minimises the mathematical aspects. Much of the topic consists of layers above sophisticated encryption algorithms. Alas, a detailed treatment of the latter often...

Cloud Security and Privacy: An Enterprise Perspective on Risks and Compliance (Theory in Practice) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I want to be fair here. I bought this book not to read hype on what looks like an emerging technology, albeit massively overhyped but, rather, to read about legal and business issues that might moderate its acceptance. To be fair, I will return to give my appraisal after I have finished but I was forced...

Bayesian Networks: A Practical Guide to Applications (Statistics in Practice) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Publisher's description exaggerates the book's pedagogical value; it is a collection of short essays describing applications, and authors do not seem especially concerned with theory. Quality is variable, editorial effort missing-in-action (typos galore) - a typical Wiley book, and an easy return decision.Click...
