[Carter · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book, was only marginally useful to me. It does not go too far beyond, the standard practice, of the field, as it generally applies to enterprise networks. There are some small details here, that perhaps, are a bit new to me; but, this is a bit of a me too, book, which basically does not go much beyond, common practices, covered in basic certificates, like the Security+, CSSLP, CISA, and so forth. Henceforth, it's utility is quite minimal.

Good foundation for concerned technical guys in the ICS security arena
