The Information Systems Security Officer's Guide, Second Edition: Establishing and Managing an Information Protection Program Review by Arturo DiGenero

Incoherent gobblydegook

There's simply nothing useful in this book. One would have to have never heard of the Internet or the Web, and never to have worked anywhere, to benefit from it. The author repeats infosec and management bromides ad nauseum, waves the bloody flag of 9/11 to puff up the importance of the field, and introduces new acronyms faster than the Pentagon.

It's also frequently incomprehensible, due to the author's poor control of English grammar.

If you're in infosec, don't let your bosses read this -- they may think you're as full of hot air as Kovacich.

Also note that at least 3 of the 5 star reviews below are by sometime coauthors of Kovacich.
