Darren Death's "Information Security Handbook" is an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to information security in the twenty-first century. I would absolutely recommend this reading for any business executives or technology managers who desire an in-depth, comprehensive education in "all things" information security -- from disaster recovery, cloud computing, and data storage to user account control, vulnerability assessments, and ISO 27001 compliance. As Death articulates within, "this book is well suited for anyone looking to understand the key aspects of an information security program and how they should be implemented within an organizational culture."

The details provided are well thought out and pertinent to the chapter they are in each time. Darren has a wealth of knowledge in Information Security and it shows.

Amazon Customer Mar 27, 2018

For a bit about my background, I have many years of experience working with various aspects of information security in addition to even more years experience as a technical writer and editor with networking and software companies as well as other organizations involved with information that must be kept secure. Additionally, I'm studying to pass the CISSP exam.My review of this book is from my perspective and your mileage may vary.This book is a comfortable read, especially after all the other sources I've read on information security. The chapter arrangement follows a logical pattern that at many times does not fit what I've seen in reality with the information security projects I've been involved with. However, since the book is based on a cyclic process, I feel that one could jump into an information security project at any stage with this book as a reference and the information presented here would be helpful. As a technical editor, however, I saw that there were a few typos throughout the book. These typos do not and should not, however, detract from the overall content of the book, because the content is what's most important and it seems to be all there.The intended audience for this book could range from those who are minimally experienced to the more advanced security professional. If you're at entry-level with security or merely interested in becoming a security professional, you may find some of the material difficult to understand. However, if you're an expert in IT security, you may find this book too basic. I think this book would be an excellent additional reference for those who are responsible for starting and establishing information security management systems for their organizations, particularly if they are just beginning with this process.If you're interested in information security and want to become more familiar with the jargon and further strengthen your understanding of IT security, this would be a good book for you. As for me, after reading this book the first time from cover to cover and adding notes as well as recording them in a separate notebook, I plan on keeping this book as another reference on my bookshelves for when I'm involved in future information security projects and need a quick source of relevant guidance. The book is also a handy reference for a rounded understanding of information security that will be useful for passing my CISSP exam.
