Kovacich, Gerald Kovacich Rating: 5/5  Greater than I expected. Well thoughtout and organized; written in simple, clear language; good advice and guidelines for the new ISSO; excellent examples of using management techniques and tools for establishing an effective InfoSec program; forward looking, expecially the chapter on 21st Century Challenges for the ISSO. This is a one-of-a-kind book for the InfoSec professional and a must reading by all people interested in an InfoSec career. Even the experienced ISSO can find great value in this book. If an ISSO followed the guidance offered, success is almost a certainty. A book that should be adopted for required study in business management, computer science, and information security courses.

Title: Advanced .NET Remoting (C# Edition) Publisher: Apress Authors: Ingo Rammer Rating: 5/5 I am currently reading the third chapter of this book but feel very comfortable with the topic already. This is a very good tutorial on the remoting subject and a must have. The advanced tag seems a bit misleading, the first six chapters are tutorials on the topic, nothing advanced. Anyone with a knowledge of .NET/C# could read and work with it. Paul.

Title: The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security Publisher: Wiley Authors: Kevin D. Mitnick, William L. Simon, Steve Wozniak Rating: 3/5  Kevin Mitnick IS a criminal. I have problems abetting his profiting from his crimes. However, that aside; this is a useful book. I am also put-off by his boastfulness. A well-run and maintained network is difficult to attack. Not impossible, just difficult. The easiest way to subvert most systems is the weakest component - the people. People want to be helpful and too often are not aware of the impact of even simple slips. People are also lazy. They write down passwords, circumvent security systems that seem burdensome, and do not report obvious attempts to access system. Mitnick show us that the most difficult part of any security system is to educate the users and to obtain their buy in that a secure system is a benefit.
