UCSD Text

I found this book to be excellent as an overview for those new to the subject, or for the Computer Security Professional. I intend to use it as a text for my UCSD Extension course, "Computer and Network Security."

Great overview of computer/network/data security techniques

This book is a BIBLE for those that need an introduction to the necessity of protecting data and access to files, data and networks. The book focuses on external as well as internal sources of security breach. In to day's environemnt of distributed technology and information sharing via the internet, it is incumbent upon all individuals and organizations to protect sensitive information.Not only does this book focus on available software but it also looks at hardware and methodology that encourages a more secure environment.A great read for anyone that wishes to think about and expand their interest in protecting and guarding the vulnerabilities that inherently exist.
