'This book is fantastic for those studying information security management and as a desk-side reference. It is comprehensive yet concise. I would recommend this book to anybody studying for the qualification as well as anyone in senior management positions looking to understand the basics. The language used is refreshingly understandable, making the book accessible to those outside the specialism.'
