Summary: Sun Tzu meets info sec
Comment: Sun Tzu is to military and security strategists as Shakespeare is to budding writers: an apotheosis of the art. Here, again, the great Chinese military leader is invoked, this time to draw parallels between his thinking and strategies for information warfare. The comparison, while sometimes trite in other works, is appropriate in this case; there truly is a digital war raging in the information systems trenches, and only until one accepts that premise can successful information security be achieved.

The first part of the book covers the fundamentals of the Chinese "knowledge warrior philosophy" and details the many facets of corporate information systems that must be secured. Topics such as "targets and vulnerabilities," "preparing for the siege," and "planning and force" are all applied to the digital world.

The book also details the varied techniques of the information warrior and can be summed up by a quote from the Navy SEALs program that opens chapter nine: "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat." Useful exercises enable the reader to focus on the different tasks involved in information protection.

This is one of the most original security books to be published in recent years. Its style is of significance to information systems managers who need to understand how to effectively secure their systems. At less than 175 pages, the book has more value than works triple its size.
