There is conceptual background material, but also practical, hands-on features, functions and uses. There is coverage topics including of file systems security, account security, process security, cryptography, network security, monitoring of security, security aspects of programming, hardware support for security, and numerous appendices. As might be expected with David Ferbrache onboard, the discussion of viruses is the best I have ever seen in a general work, although brief. Those interested in specialty areas may want further details (and the appendices tell you where to find them), but for most system administrators or security managers this is a very helpful resource. copyright Robert M.
