Could have been more in depth...

The information given in this book is pretty basic. It is about at the level of your average MCSE or Jr SysAdmin. That is not necessarily a bad thing though. It is very easy and light reading. I actually read it from cover to cover without getting bored which is saying a lot for an encyclopedia!

Very useful encyclopedia for security

As a new student to the realm of security I've been hit hard with new terminology and after a while sometimes I find it hard to rememberr what an acronym stands for or what it means.This book makes it easy to look it up quickly for a refresher without having to flip through various books or search the internet. Great if you are a student like myself and working late at night cramming for an exam and you can't remember what PFS stands for.This book I will keep near me at home, school, and at work because it is just a great reference book.I gave it four stars instead of five because it would have been great if Microsoft included a CD with the book in electronic format so instead of carrying the book around I could just load it up on my computer and have quick access whenever I need it without having to remember where I left the book this time.
