Here's what people are saying about this book:

"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!"
   –Steve Gottwals, Ph.D., CISSP, Senior Product Manager, Security Solutions and
     Strategy, Adobe Systems Incorporated"


“KNOW IT Security is a timely, easy, and fast read that is a must for senior managers in every large corporation to understand that good IT security is about business needs, physical security, human behaviors, and technology.
