Engineering Information Security: The Application Of Systems Engineering Concepts To Achieve Information Assurance, Second Edition

The book discusses why information security is needed and how security problems can have widespread impacts. The book will also investigate concepts of systems engineering and how these concepts will allow for the development of new products, services, as well as the maintenance of existing products. Most books on this topic target specific subjects within the field, whereas this book provides a broad scope of the life cycle of security products.
