A great guidebook for Information Security Professionals
Another excellent book from a knowledgeable authority. Insightful and well written, Dr. Kovacich provides some excellent advice for the ISSO and anyone involved in Information Security. The practical approach to implementing and managing an effective Information Security (INFOSEC) program is applicable to both US private sector and governmental organizations. This book is a must read for both the novice and seasoned professional and anyone interested in Information Security.

A must read one-of-a-kind guide book for the ISSO
Greater than I expected. Well thoughtout and organized; written in simple, clear language; good advice and guidelines for the new ISSO; excellent examples of using management techniques and tools for establishing an effective InfoSec program; forward looking, expecially the chapter on 21st Century Challenges for the ISSO. This is a one-of-a-kind book for the InfoSec professional and a must reading by all people interested in an InfoSec career. Even the experienced ISSO can find great value in this book. If an ISSO followed the guidance offered, success is almost a certainty. A book that should be adopted for required study in business management, computer science, and information security courses.

The Security Officers must have book
Once again Dr. Kovacich has excelled. He has produced an updated version of already 'must have' book for any information security officer. It is the sort of book that is useful to both the experienced information security officer and to the person who is new to the area. The book is written in a format that makes it very readable and also that you can easily find that piece of information that you can remember seeing but can't exactly recall where..

I wish that he had been writing this type of book when I first started out in the Infosec field. If you only buy one information security book - make sure it is this one.
