This paperback version of the best-seller, written by the internationally recognized expert in computer security, Bruce Schneier, provides a practical, straight-forward guide to achieving security throughout computer networks.

No theory, no math, no fiction of what should be working but isn't, just the facts. Schneier uses his extensive field experience with his own clients to dispel the myths that often mislead IT managers as they try to build secure systems. Schneier's tutorial on just what cryptography (a subset of computer security) can and can not do for them, has received far-reaching praise from both the technical and business community.

The author walks the reader through the real choices they have for digital security and how to pick and choose from what's out there to meet their business needs as well as plan for the future.
