In this authoritative book, widely respected doctor and teacher Matt Bishop of the art and science of information security put forward a clear and useful introduction. Bishop’s insights and realistic examples of any doctor can help students understand the crucial links between security theory and the day-to-day security challenges of IT environments.

Bishop explained the basic principles of security: the widespread use of different types of policies, mechanisms and policies to implement these policies, principles and mechanisms, and how attackers undermine these tools – and how to defend against an attacker. An internship demonstrates how to apply these ideas and mechanisms to a realistic company.
