A lucid, enlightening, and comprehensive tour de force through the breadth of cyber security. Maym and Harris are masters of the craft.

Dr. Greg Conti, Founder, Kopidion LLC

I wish I found this book earlier in my career. It certainly was the single tool I used to pass the CISSP exam, but more importantly it has taught me about security from many aspects I did not even comprehend previously. I think the knowledge that I gained from this book is going to help me in many years to come. Terrific book and resource!
