Introduction to Computer Security 1st Edition

I start searching for a good book to teach security. After read this, I can say it is "the one" for rapid courses. I suggest this book instead of Art and Science, but for a long term relationship with security I recommend the Computer Security: Art and Science from same author.

This book was required for a class that for Cyber Security.The physical book has many methodologies for beginners to get introduced into the Cyber-security Realm.If you want speed, go get the PDF. Otherwise, the physical actual book is just as good.

A very good book that deals with the basics, the math, and the practical security issues. It's better than other security books I have read.

The content is not organized well

A good general introduction to security. As it is a general introduction the material is relatively current. For specifics (new threats, etc.) it is beginning to show its age.

I bought the book because this is a text book for one of my courses (Computer Security). Although the book Computer Security: Art and Science is a much thorough one, but this one is better, if u are starting to learn about Computer Security.Note :- This book is not for those(non computer scientists) who wants to implement Security at their home.

Good insight. Very thorough. Touches every layer and level. Wide ranging and in dept.

Needs to be edited to foster readability.
