The InfoSec Handbook (An Introduction to Information Security)

This book is primarily intended to open up and make clear the aspects of information security to beginners in the field of information security. However, this book also brings in a newer perspective and the latest trends of interest to those who have a good understanding of the information security field, like the information security professionals who may be information security auditors, information security consultants, and information security officers. This book is intended to give a clear understanding of concepts and related information in simple terms rather than through complicated jargon and abstract theories. The approach used in this book is practical and straightforward, and clarity is the main focus of this book. Wherever possible, various aspects are demonstrated through the situational scenarios. The intention is not to get too technical, but as far as possible to elaborate on technical aspects in common terms so that most intended readers of this book can understand what is being conveyed.
