There are lots of security books available but most of these focus primarily on the topics and details of what is to be accomplished. These books don't include sufficient real-world, hands on implementation details. This book is designed to take readers to the next stage of personal knowledge and skill development. Rather than presenting the same content as every other security book does, this book takes these topics and provides real-world implementation details. Learning how to apply higher level security skills is an essential skill needed for the IT professional.
