Review # 1 was written on 2007-04-10 00:00:00 Bonita Mona When I first read this book, I thought it was different than most text at the time. Donn Parker had some original ideas and was not afraid to argue these ideas. If you are in the information security domain, you must have this book. Let me give you an example of why I respect Mr. Parker as a contributor to this domain. When you hear of loss modeling, people speak in terms of CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability) Mr. Parker has been arguing for years that these three classes are insufficient. The sufficient set would also include three more classes of loss: Utility, Authenticity, and Possession. I completely agree. The only argument you could entertain is that the CIA model is simpler and that simpler wins over comprehensiveness. I still think Mr. Parker is right and we will soon find ourselves needing the more comprehensive model very soon.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-08-11 00:00:00 Wally Majors I think this is no longer a "new" framework but still a valid insight into information security. One pause I took with this book is the author's complete aversion to information security risk assessment. Unfortunately, there are federal laws that mandate them so we cannot eschew them entirely. I do agree with the author's advocacy of managing security via gap assessments to well-known, vetted security standards and frameworks.
