Summary: Important - Describes CERT CC
Comment: Primarily aimed at a nontechnical manager who is given the responsibility to start or run an IT group watching a company's computer security. Though I do not want to draw this constraint too tightly. Systems administrators and programmers who have been tasked to this field will also find it useful.

The book gives a good synopsis of the field of computer security. It tells you what the issues are, and the broader resources available out there. Most significantly, you learn about Carnegie-Mellon's Computer Emergency Response Team, aka CERT CC. This is the main organisation in the world that pools data on incidents and disseminates authoritative information on countermeasures and patches. I would posit that the best value in this book is in telling you of CERT and how to use them to your best advantage. Especially advantageous if you are new to managing computer security. CERT means you do not stand alone.

Other sections of the book also discuss how to organise a team and gives a broad overview of what types of incidents to check.

Please note that no code examples are actually given in the book. For example, buffer overruns are mentioned, but not described further. Such things would be the purview of a more technical text, aimed directly at a programmer.
