Organizations rely heavily on the use of information technology (IT) products and services to run their day-to-day activities. Ensuring the security of these products and services is of the utmost importance for the success of the organization. This publication provides an introduction to the information security principles organizations may leverage in order to understand the information security needs of their respective systems.

Why buy a book you can download for free?


First you gotta find it and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people – and its outta paper – and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it’s just 10 pages, no problem, but if it’s a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that’s paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant’s anymore?). Kindle version is hyperlinked for easy page navigation.


If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money.


It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
