Reviews
Several glowing reviews of the book have appeared over the years, such
as the one in Security Management Online, the online service of Security
Management, the monthly magazine of the American Society for Industrial
Security (ASIS).
ASIS member David W. McCoy, CPP, a security professional employed by
Lockheed Martin Vought Systems of Dallas, clearly understood the book's
mission:
According to the author...personal computers constitute "the
front line of the information revolution." In large measure the author
makes his case by presenting PC and LAN security in a practical, enjoyable,
and easily readable manner.
And we would not argue with this summation:
Buttressed by the author's wit and able presentation, this book
makes a fine resource on LAN and PC security and would benefit any security
professional.
We would like to point out that the book's treatment of technical subjects
is aimed squarely at the average PC user. The book does not attempt to duplicate
the more advanced treament of technical issues that you can find in books
like William Stallings' Network and Internetwork Security. In other
words, Cobb's Guide to PC and LAN Security works for ordinary people
who use computers in their work and want to understand security issues.
As McCoy's comments imply, it also works for information system security
professionals who want to understand security from a desktop (as opposed
to server or "big" system perspective). Ways to buy Cobb's Guide to PC and Local Area Network
Security
