Management of Information Security, provides an overview of information security from a management perspective, as well as a thorough understanding of the administration of information security. Written by two Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP), this book has the added credibility of incorporating the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), especially in the area of information security management. The second edition has been updated to maintain the industry currency and academic relevance that made the previous edition so popular, and case studies and examples continue to populate the book, providing real-life applications for the topics covered.

 Let's be as unclear as possible... September 30, 2009

The book is quite frustrating if you need to use it for your studies as I do.
A lot of it is really obvious, but the authors do like to repeat and rehash points in quite a confusing order. They would be better off providing more examples that fit exactly with what they are trying to explain, but instead they grabbed too many examples from other sources, which do not appear to fit as neatly with their processes as I suspect would be best. It certainly fills up the pages, but adds confusion. It's a big subject, so it will never be an easy task, but surely these guys can employ writers to look at their work objectively. Too many technical people write books with the notion of the book being very good because they think everyone thinks like they think... Wrong.
And to be honest it is a boring book. It's not even like it's a boring subject, because it really does affect so much of our working and personal lives nowadays. Somehow they just seemed to be able to make it seem more excruitatingly boring than it really is!... I suppose that's a skill in itself!

This book covers everything pertaining to managing Information Security. This book is very informative. I currently have this book in my library, where i still use it as a reference when writing information security related papers.

Did I tell you the book was boring?
The authors spend too much time providing the "how to" on developing paperwork (paper-tiger) security programs and nothing on the implementation of real security measures.
They borrow whole chapters out of books written by some guy -- Charles Cresson Wood -- heck, just buy that guy's book instead.
They introduce each chapter with a cursory view of "the threat" yet spend no time explaining how it applies to the chapter.
They do ensure that the reader understands the importance of "making sure your CISO is high enough up the management chain to be effective." Chapter after chapter after chapter!!!!
I've seen better strategic planning in a comic book.
