Principles of Incident Response and Disaster Recovery 2nd Edition

This series put out by this company is by far one of the highest quality books I've read. The information is shown in a way that conducive for learning and does stretch itself out. I've gotten to the point that if entire paragraphs and pages are meaningless expenses of words meant to spread out on paragraph's worth of information in a long stream of ramblings, I put the book down and look for something else. I use this as a student for a class, but I find myself reading ahead of the class and looking into other books in this series. Hope they keep the high quality writing and instruction for years to come.

Had to get this book for Uni.Very in depth on IR and DR objectives. Followed my teachers syllabus to letter as well. As far as entertainment value about negative 5 stars but for education it is spot on. I rented the book from Amazon which was a plus as well cause I saved money and hassle trying to return it.

It provided some valuable insite to incident response and contengiency planning which I would be willing to bet a vast majority of organizations are unprepared and do not have one in place. This could serve as a guide on how organizations can be better prepared for disaster, weather natural or man made.

Very good book, IMO. The explanations are thorough, and descriptive. If you're a college student who's considering renting or buying this, I say buy it. It will make for a good reference during your career.

Why is there an entire chapter on computer forensics? This book should entirely consist of how to write policy for actions to carry out in the event of a disaster. If an incident involves something that will require forensic intervention, it's usually handed off to the authorities.There are a couple of things that irked me about the way that Whitman described the incident response planning process. Whitman says that prevention comes before everything else when writing your incident response plan. I have to disagree and say that the first thing you want to find in your incident response plan is the reaction stage which tells you what to do when fecal matter is hitting the proverbial turbine. Then comes containment, then comes the process of correcting and preventing anything from happening again. After that is your plan maintenance, but that is a given.Good book. Thankfully, I have a great instructor who just so happens to be using it. So, most of it is supplementary. I'd still pick it up and read it. You're bound to learn something useful.

Book is in excellent condition. It looks like a new book.

The book was advertised as having "shelf wear" but when I received it, it was shrink-wrapped and looked like it had just come from the publisher. I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

Exactly what I needed for school. Pages a little bent. I didn't mind the highlighted areas. They helped me tremendously with my Final Exam!
