Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems

This is well written and wide ranging text. Foundational materials

We really like this book. A great background and detailed info on this topic. Really like the real-world examples and application. Pretty exhaustive, as far as that is possible given the topic. Also, quite easy to read, although I confess that if from an engineer's perspective.

I am buying every edition to support this great book.

I have the first edition, and the 3rd (2020), and the 3rd. This book is a decent introduction to InfoSec, although it takes a few years and some experience to be able to truly appreciate it. I've probably ready it all, in prices, across 15 years and all revisions. It's a reference, it's a guide, that book is my best friend.I think this book is a good guide for entry level folks who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the field of computer security, and also to senior staff. Be it managers, directors, eng managers, internal audit and privacy professionals looking for a comprehensive introduction to Security relevant regardless of the particular technology they work with or industry they are in.

Despite the deep gash on the spine of the book that was listed as "new", it is in brand new condition. Shipping was fast.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to this book by a professor in graduate school. Anderson's book is very readable for those who are getting started with security engineering. I found that going at a pace of a chapter each week or so was good for me to really digest the content. I'm about half-way through! I also recommend ching out the website for the book. It has PDF samples as well.

Ross work is must-read for people who are enthusiasts about security or professionals in the field.

This book has unusual coverage: extremely broad across the topics in security in general, but then has some extreme unnecessary depth in other areas. I’m a huge fan of Signal, but I don’t see it being important to a book trying to cover what this covers.

I haven't finished the book yet, but I love it.With a lot cases anaylized, the security issues get easier to understand.With the depth of knowledge, the security is not a out a list of doctrine.I also like the approaches of evaluating security issues of a computer systems. That is throughout the book.Very helpful to gain knowledge, and establish appicable skills.The book is so heavy. That makes inconvenient to read. I hope I could get the ebook access when I purchase the physical copy, so that I can read with my iPad, or laptop.

O livro é incrivelmente completo, aborda não só questões como autenticação e criptografia, mas também aspectos psicológicos, econômicos, segurança física e muito mais, é uma excelente introdução à esta vasta disciplina que é a engenharia de segurança. As explicações são muito claras e eu diria até divertidas por vezes, o autor explica como as diversas tecnologias evoluíram ao longo do tempo e dá vários exemplos, além de mostrar como as coisas podem dar errado na prática. Para quem entende Inglês eu recomendo muito!

Ok

Una guía brutal y a mi entender es un must en la biblioteca de cualquier ingeniero.La verdad que súper completo, a veces peca de simple o de teórico y otras de especifico y técnico. El nivel es bastante bueno y la verdad que me parece que esta bastante bien. Súper recomendado, no es para principiantes con nivel básico de sistemas, por lo que si es eso lo que buscas, mejor ir por algo mas básico y ameno de leer.pd: Tocho tocho!!!!

Der Inhalt ist gut aber das Papier ist zu dünn. Man sieht leider den Text auf der Rückseite was das lasen zumindest für dich deutlich erschwert. Es ist ein rauschen auf jeder Seite was mit etwas dickeren Papier sicherlich hätte verhindert werden können.
