Going beyond the technical coverage of computer and systems security measures, Information Assurance for the Enterprise provides readers an overarching model for information assurance for businesses, government agencies, and other enterprises needing to establish a comprehensive plan. All the components of security and how they relate are featured, and readers will also be shown how an effective security policy can be developed. Topics like asset identification, human factors, compliance with regulations, personnel security, risk assessment and ethical considerations are covered, as well as computer and network security tools and methods. This is one of the only texts on the market that provides an up-to-date look at the whole range of security and IA topics. In post-9/11 times, managers and IT professionals need to address a wide range of security-related issues, and develop security systems that take all these diverse factors into account. As someone who has worked extensively with the U.S. State Department and other governmental agencies, Corey Schou is uniquely positioned to write the definitive book on the subject; and Daniel Shoemaker is a professor and consultant to the Department of Homeland Security in matters of Information Assurance policy.

Free Information Assurance for the Enterprise: A Roadmap to Information Security
I had the displeasure of using this book for an entry level Information Risk Management college course I was teaching. I was just an adjunct, so when they handed me this book as a preferred text used by another faculty member, I didn't bother reviewing the other book options.
Judging by the chapters, I thought this book would be perfect because it provides a nice overview of all of the relevant topics. It would have been, except it is the one of the worst witten and structured books I have ever read. Sentences are very awkward. It seems like the authors had a page quota to fill, because the book is very repetitive, and it seems like a stretch sometimes to split topics into multiple chapters. As others have mentioned, the chapters are also ordered incorrectly, with basic terms not being defined until half way through the book. I ended up teaching the chapters in a different order.
By the second week the students were complaining. Thankfully, information risk management is what I do for a living, so the book didn't affect my ability to present the material. It certainly affected the students' ability (and effort) to try and learn the material on their own. I ended including a number of additional readings and videos. YouTube is a great place. For one of the chapters I had the students watch an 8 minute video on the topic by an RSA employee. One of my students commented "I learned more in that 8 minute video than I did in the two hours I spend reading the chapter."

I'm using this book for a 400 level information security class in college. This book is horrible. Have you ever been in a meeting where someone talks and talks, but actually says nothing? This is the print version. All the information contained in this book could be covered in maybe 50 pages of text, but instead Corey Schou and Dan Shoemaker have dragged it out for over 400. I would not recommend this to anyone.
