Great for Beginners and Experts Alike
I grabbed this book because I needed a quick primer on DSL technology. It turned out to be just that and much much more. I'm constantly returning to it to delve deeper into the subject. It's definitely one of the best technical texts I've read.

The entirety of the book defines that critical handshake, which has been made so much more complex by Internet freedom and opportunities. Layers of certification and handshaking, both online and offline, hashing, third parties, CA's. Vacca includes costings, comparatives, ...

Excellent resource everyone involved in HIPAA should have
Rebecca and Kevin have created an excellent resource for HIPAA Security Practictioners. They provide practical guidance for interpreting the HIPAA security rule, in terms that the non-security professional can understand. Especially of value are the ideas on how to "implement" the security rule, broken down by the relevant HIPAA security standard. I agree with the practical approach that they ...

Auerbach Publications, 1999

Useful reference material
This book has some material relevant to the CISA examination based on the 2003 content areas, although it is not organized or focused as a CISA examination guide. If you are looking for CISA review material for the test, I would strongly suggest to stick with ISACA's combination of review manual and questions CD. I also searched everywhere for study aids for this grueling test and ended up using ...

Managing an Information Security and Privacy Awareness and Training Program

Rebecca Herold

Auerbach Publications, 2005

THE Definitive Book on Information Security Practice
I'll begin by saying that I have two broad comments about Ms. Herold's new book, Managing an Information Security and Privacy Awareness and Training Program. First, it may be the definitive book on the topic and seems to have enough meat to be the definitive book on the practice of information security in general. It approaches the profession in the right way: people-oriented. That is rare ...

Beginners Guide to LDAP
This book seems to me a good introduction to a complex subject. It is very useful for the beginner, since it explains the important things to know when you will start with LDAP. I am studying informatics and I am living in this moment at London,UK. I wanted to learn more about the installation and use of LDAP and in particular OpenLDAP. I use this book also as manual working with Perl and LDAP.

A well-written, informative, and helpful book on Offshore Outsourcing -- by someone who knows first-hand
I bought a copy of this book and distributed it to many inside my firm. The general consensus was it is eminently readable, clear, concise, and helpful, and summarizes the learning of many experienced individuals who have actually lived and breathed Offshore program execution. I'm honestly not sure if reviewer John H Kaplan actually read this book. For example, there is a great deal of ...

Investigator's Guide to Steganography

Gregory Kipper

Auerbach Publications, 2003

A comprehensive and useful work!
As a security focused manager the more I learn about steganography, the art of hiding messages, the more concerned I become about its security implications. These techniques allow an individual to use secrecy in communications. I am sure the book aids the investigator, but it helps a manager understand how secrecy has been used in the past and the present as well. A tremendous amount of ...

Jessica Keyes

Auerbach Publications, 2005

Just what I needed
I was looking for a book to assist in implementing the scorecard approach in my IT shop. Most books on the subject were too generic - too focused on business and not on IT. The Keyes book is very specific to IT. It thoroughly explained the topic and was loaded with useful measures I could use right away.

Telephony 101
A re-organization in our company placed telecom services under the Administration Department. Not having a technical background, I was a bit concerned about my new operational and technical responsibilities. The world of Communications always seemed so complicated.

Michael West

Auerbach Publications, 2004

Unexpected gem - read before leaping!
If you're expecting a book that shows how to implement the CMMI, or even one that gushes about its benefits you're in for a surprise. Yes, this book does show how to achieve process improvement by using the CMMI as a model, but it differs greatly from the recipe approaches of similar books that will have you marching over a cliff instead of improving your organization. The author does this by ...

Very good material
This book covers a wide area of subjects related to Client/Server architecture, networks, architecture design, implementation guidelines, strategy, security... There is a good balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Due to the extend of the subjects, it can not go in depth in all points, but it is definitely a very practical and usefull reference book, probably aimed at managers ...

The CISO Handbook
At last a comprehensive view of what a total security program needs to be. So much of the literature on the subject is about technology only that this wholistic approach is a breath of fresh air. It is clearly and simply written and provides an easy to follow roadmap for any security manager to follow in developing an enterprise security program.
