Although some information was interesting in here, it delivered it in a poorly-written way. There was some new stuff I didn't cover in previous classes, but I feel that I had to comb over The Great Wall of Text to get to the point. Moreover, this book is MOSTLY the Management side of InfoSec, not so much the Hacking side. It only briefly covers on the highly-technical details, whereas it loads you mostly with Best Practices and the like. Tells you what tools Cybersecurity uses, but doesn't really give any examples of HOW to use them. Does, however, give some decent Security Architecture tips, but it doesn't really cover anything about configuration and such. If it had fewer metric tonnes of fluff, perhaps it could have gotten a 3 or even 4, but it took what I thought was going to be the most interesting of my courses and made it the most obnoxious.
thanks for reading
