Title overview

For computer-security courses that are taught at the undergraduate level

Unlike most other computer security textbooks available today, Introduction to Computer Security, does NOT focus on the mathematical and computational foundations of security, and it does not assume an extensive background in computer science. Instead it looks at the systems, technology, management, and policy side of security, and offers students fundamental security concepts and a working knowledge of threats and countermeasures with 'just-enough' background in computer science. The result is a presentation of the material that is accessible to students of all levels.
