Title: OK overview, but better alternatives exist...
Review: The book offers a good overview of information security, though with a lot of "talk". I found myself scanning 75% of the paragraphs for the meat....I'm a software engineer, and have read "Secret's and Lies", which offers a much more thorough and better review of the subject. Buy it, instead. Not only will you get a better education, but you'll actually read the entire book instead of skimming most of it....Neither this nor "Secrets and Lies" will offer much specific information on security loopholes, i.e. how to hack or avoid being hacked. "Hacking Exposed" does that, however, and is a good read, too.
