Beautiful Security: Leading Security Experts Explain How They Think (Theory In Practice)
by
Andy Oram ,
John Viega
Although most people don't give security much attention until their personal or business systems are attacked, this thought-provoking anthology demonstrates that digital security is not only worth thinking about, it's also a fascinating topic. Criminals succeed by exercising enormous creativity, and those defending against them must do the same.

Fascinating collection of essays covering ecommerce and credit card handling, social engineering and security theatre, log handling and security in a cloud-based environment. Gave me a lot to ponder and some good ideas for my own systems.

This book was pretty bad. As with many collections of chapters by disparate authors, this quality was highly variable. There were a couple of bright spots but overall it was pretty terrible. It isn't clear who the target audience for this book is. It seems targetted at either CIOs or others who have a passing interest in very shallow security or newcomers to the field that have a business or consulting background. This book isn't very technical.
