Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems

Great book

We really like this book. A great background and detailed info on this topic. Really like the real-world examples and application. Pretty exhaustive, as far as that is possible given the topic. Also, quite easy to read, although I confess that if from an engineer's perspective.

This is well written and wide ranging text. Foundational materials

I am buying every edition to support this great book.

Despite the deep gash on the spine of the book that was listed as "new", it is in brand new condition. Shipping was fast.

I have the first edition, and the 3rd (2020), and the 3rd. This book is a decent introduction to InfoSec, although it takes a few years and some experience to be able to truly appreciate it. I've probably ready it all, in prices, across 15 years and all revisions. It's a reference, it's a guide, that book is my best friend. I think this book is a good guide for entry level folks who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the field of computer security, and also to senior staff. Be it managers, directors, eng managers, internal audit and privacy professionals looking for a comprehensive introduction to Security relevant regardless of the particular technology they work with or industry they are in.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to this book by a professor in graduate school. Anderson's book is very readable for those who are getting started with security engineering. I found that going at a pace of a chapter each week or so was good for me to really digest the content. I'm about half-way through! I also recommend ching out the website for the book. It has PDF samples as well.

Ross work is must-read for people who are enthusiasts about security or professionals in the field.

Ok

This is the greatest security book ever written, by far, for technical computer scientists and information security / cybersecurity / security architecture / risk consultants alike. There are some unexpected politics-centric additions in this edition that date it to 2020, but the insights into technical attacks (think SPECTRE) and protocols in modern usage (think Signal/triple Diffie-Hellman) make this a worthwhile purchase even for owners of the second edition.

Una guía brutal y a mi entender es un must en la biblioteca de cualquier ingeniero. La verdad que súper completo, a veces peca de simple o de teórico y otras de especifico y técnico. El nivel es bastante bueno y la verdad que me parece que esta bastante bien. Súper recomendado, no es para principiantes con nivel básico de sistemas, por lo que si es eso lo que buscas, mejor ir por algo mas básico y ameno de leer. pd: Tocho tocho!!!!

Received this book on the release date, efficient delivery from Amazon. A book worth reading anyone doing Computing it is a DEFINATELY A MUST READ the author Ross Anderson quotes " I have learned a lot in the process; writing down what you think you know is a good way of finding out what you don't know" and this book outlines what you don't know or thought you knew. Recommendable
