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.

security solutions, your book is effective, efficient and practical!

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!"
