Title: A good introduction to the main issues
Review: This book would make a useful addition to the library of any system administrator or security manager. On it's own, it is a good introduction to the major issues involved in digital security, and would suit a CEO or someone who needs an overview of digital security without too much technical detail.Unlike his previous text - Applied Cryptography - this book is light on detail, and covers a lot of ground. It is written in an easy style, and while it is not exactly a page turner, it keeps your interest. If I could summarise the one message I took from this book it is that it is not a question of if your organisation is going to be hacked, but when and how badly. Schneier does not present the task as a hopeless one, but offers clear strategies to combat the threat.I would have given the book five stars, except I am interested in database security particularly, and he doesn't really go into that in any detail.
