Customer Review: I hate to be difficult, but this is an awful, mediocre book. I'll keep it simple and factual: - This book is horrendously inaccurate. Some chapters are OK - Crypto approaches 90%.

Customer Review: I found this book a poor study guide for someone who needed to learn a lot about security to pass the CISSP (although I have been a developer for 20 years).

Customer Review: This book is a great way to become familiar with the question types, wording and structure for the CISSP exam. It is a great last minute review and mind calmer. The multiple formats (book and CD) allow for flexibility during study time.
