Added: Oh nice, there is a third edition (2020) now. I only knew about the 1st and 2nd editions. The 2nd ed is completely online but the 3rd only has sample chapters online: OTOH, the 3rd is in all likelihood an updated/expanded version of the 2nd. So you could read the 2nd and decide about buying the 3rd.

I'd say it's a book for inspirational bedtime reading, rather than careful study or reference. But it's great in that way. Security is about mindset more than anything else, and the book puts you right into it.

Yes. It is a little bit old by now, but it is a great book.
