Network Security: A Beginner's Guide Review by G. F Robison

More about policy & procedure implementation than technical

I originally bought the book because it was less than 10 bucks, and I wanted a good overview of network security. The book is written fairly well, but it's main focus is security policy and legal issues with a general overview of some network security technology.
I have been in IT for around 6 years now, the last 2 I spent working on Military/DoD networks, so I already have a sound networking background. This book's intended audience seems to be aimed more toward the executive/management type who does not have much technical experience. I believe a better title for this book would have been "Network Security Policy Making: A Beginners Guide". If you security needs are more for creating sound policy & procedures this is a good for you, the more technical minded should seek elsewhere.
