 A Really Disappointing ReadDec 31, 2009
I was expecting Schneier to have penned a more in-depth view of security in modern systems, but this book was a shallow imitation of a number of other security-related texts I have read. If you want a management-level overview then this book will be a useful read, but if you are looking for any depth or insight, look elsewhere. Other texts such as "Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems" give a better look at the field.

 BrilliantAug 26, 2009
I have read hundreds of books on INFOSEC related topics but this one takes the cake.
Schneier is a brilliant information security mind and his topics are as relavant to managment as they are to INFOSEC professionals.

The most comprehensive book on the subject of digital securityJul 12, 2009
Its the most comprehensive and well-written book on the extensive subject of digital security. It carefully explains all the paradigms of security involved and then discusses the technologies and strategies employed to tackle them.
Its laced with all the real world examples of security flaws and practices. It does a great job in keeping the reader interested in this subject.
Great educational and easy readJun 26, 2009
This is a great book for those interested in security. The author does a great job at making the subject understandable and covers covers a great breadth of topics. A lot of the material covered is similar to a high level view of what's in CCISP books. The book's goal is to make you aware and to teach you how to think about security. Many times, companies will come up with a new product that they claim will take care of all your security problems for a stiff price. Understanding how to think about security will make you aware that there is no silver bullet. Instead, you need to follow a process to minimize the risk. This book is definitely worth reading.
