From the reviews:
"This book focuses on educating readers on the security problems that are likely to be encountered. … Overall, this is a well-written text that will provide readers with a solid foundation in information security. … it would also be appropriate as an introductory text for practitioners entering the field and for providing background and business context of security-related business issues for nontechnical managers." (W. T. Neumann, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
“This excellent book by Joseph Migga Kizza is very welcome. The author steers … to give a thorough, complete and very readable guide to the subject. … the book is well structured and presented – offering the basis of a strong balanced course. … stands by itself as a valuable guide. … Who is it for? A very good core text for an undergraduate course in network security, and valuable for any IT professional needing to refresh his or her understanding in this area … .” (Times Higher Education, Issue viii, December, 2009)Editors and Affiliations
