"I wanted to let you know that I read your book [KNOW IT
Security] you gave me on the plane last week and was quite impressed.
Just like some of the attributes you talk about concerning good
security solutions, your book is effective, efficient and practical!
Too often, books dive in very deep to different aspects of information
security (thus, the ever growing library of books in my office).
For a holistic high-level view of information security, I thought
yours did a great job!"
