Comprehensive bbok.

From what I've read this book covers many of the basic concepts and procedures used to secure your wired or wireless network from most attacks. Granted you are still at risk with someone who has the right tools but for the most part this books covers the necessary points about how to secure your network against the basic hacker. Overall a good read.

Good introduction but a bit outdated

This book explains network security in a way that's easy to understand. However, I sometimes felt that some of the concepts discussed were a bit outdated. I think some parts may need a bit of refreshing.

Another great book in a great series

Another great book in a great series. Even if you are not a novice, this series is outstanding because it is filled with references and pointers to great resources!

Outdated, but clear and understandable

If you have a fundamental understanding of how networks operate, and want an overview of various IT security concepts, this book may be for you. Unfortunately, much of it is out of date. For example, the operating systems ,along with their attendant problems, the book addresses are primarily Windows XP and Windows NT...yes, NT. So when the author spends a chapter talking about plugging the specific security holes in those particular operating systems, its almost wasted time.With that said, they go beyond OS's and in depth about other hardware and software involved in IT sec, most of which is still relevant. They cover firewalls, routers, virus and endpoint protection, and more.With what I've learned from this book, I'm ready to go deeper into the subject, which is all I was expecting from this book anyway. So in that regard, it was exactly what I was looking for - I just wish they could have updated the edition from 2002. From the listing it looked like it had been updated in 2011, but apparently the update didn't cover enough material.

Helped me out on some issues that I couldn't figure out myself.

Right on time...

At first I was kind of fearful of how long it was going to get to me from the sender, but I by far received the product in a timely manner (5 days)...I will definitely be buying more product from this seller...

Very basic

Pretty basic and clearly written over a decade ago. Wile it has been somewhat updated, the references to Windows 95 throughout the text made it feel ancient.
