"We've been looking at security the wrong way", says security maven Winn Schwartau. "Fortress Mentality insists that tall electronic walls is how to keep the bad guys out. That method hasn't worked for 5,000 years of warfare, so why should it work for computer security? It can'tr and it doesn't."

Written in Schwartau's highly popular and entertaining style, Time Based Security is a not - too - technical paradigm shift which gives you new tools to handle network security completely differently:

  • A simple method to measure your security efforts
  • A framework so management can make informed decisions as to where to smartly invest their security budget dollars.

Within minutes, you will be able to judge how secure or insecure your network is! Time Based Security provides you with the tools you need to make your systems more secure that ever before.

OK, I admit it! This is another book that should be read alongside Donn Parker and Commander Smith! Excellent and thought provoking. I loved it!
