A comprehensive survey of the most current and critical information security practices, Information Security Illuminated is an excellent introduction to the fundamental concepts and applications for students and professionals alike. Key security concepts are discussed with clear, accessible language and reinforced by a large number of scenario-based exercises and practical review questions. Readers are then able to apply their knowledge through hands-on experience with computer security-related tools. Coverage begins with the basics of computer security (CIA and DAD triads, risk analysis, etc.), and moves quickly through to important, real-world topics such as access control methodologies, security principles and practices, business continuity planning and disaster recovery, firewalls, incident handling, and much more. In addition to providing the requisite material for a complete course in information security practices, the book can be used as a self-study guide for many of the basic security certifications.

Free Information Security Illuminated
The maintenance of the security of information is rapidly emerging as one of the greatest problems in the area of information technology. The amount of data that is being stored is rising at almost an exponential rate and to be usable it must be made readily available, in many cases 24/7 and on a network. These networks are most commonly connected to the Internet, so in essence everyone in the online world has a shot at accessing it.
This book is an excellent candidate for a text in an overview or beginning course in information security or as a self-study guide. All of the basics are covered in overview form, there is very little in the way of technical depth. A set of multiple choice challenge questions, and small sets of challenge exercises and challenge scenarios appear at the end of each chapter. Unfortunately, no solutions are included, however they are available in the instructor's guide.
The titles of the chapters are:
*) Introducing computer and network security
*) Access control methodologies
*) General security principles and practices
*) The business of security
*) Cryptographic technologies
*) Securing TCP/IP
*) Handling security incidents
*) Firewall security
*) Operating system security
*) Securing operating systems
*) Security audit principles and practices
*) Network and server attacks and penetration
*) Intrusion detection systems and practices
*) System security scanning and discovery
If you are teaching a course covering this increasingly important skill or need to learn the basics, then this book will serve your needs.

This book provides a decent overview of the different aspects of computer/information security, and is an easy read, but if you are a software developer or IT professional, you may want to consider purchasing a few more specialized books instead.
