This book discusses why information security is needed and how security problems can have widespread impacts. It covers the complete security lifecycle of products and services, starting with requirements and policy development and progressing through development, deployment, and operations, and concluding with decommissioning. Professionals in the sciences, engineering, and communications fields will turn to this resource to understand the many legal, technical, competitive, criminal and consumer forces and influences that are rapidly changing our information dependent society.

Free Engineering Information Security: The Application of Systems Engineering Concepts to Achieve Information Assurance
First, I am not a person in the security field, but I am a graduate student. The author obviously has a significant background in security practice and research, but this book only has a few examples taken from the "real world" that highlight or illustrate a point. Which is an unfortunate missed opportunity for this book.
According to Wikipedia, Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. If you accept that definition, there is little in regards to engineering in this book because the material covered is infrequently described in a way where you can apply this information to your own situation.
Further reducing my review score, this book has many grammar and spelling mistakes and many out-right errors. Seriously there are many, many significant errors. Mistakes like this are unfortunate because 1) the book is relatively new and the incorrect items were not due to information becoming out of date, 2) security is a topic dependent on accuracy of information. For example, the book states changing a password every 90 days is an attribute of a password. However, changing passwords is related to usage of a password, but is not an attribute of a password. This is a missed opportunity to actually put some engineering focus on the material because Jacobs could have discussed this important distinction on how to use these rules/guidelines, not just list them out.
You might find this book handy if you were looking for a definition of terms, but an incompleete index and lack of glossary would make that use case difficult to argue for.
