I work for a company that sells Intrusion Detection Systems. After reading Linda's book it really helped me in positioning our products to potential customers. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in computer security and hacking.

"Intranet Security : Stories from the Trenches" gives you more than the title promises. It is not only a collection of enlightening case studies, but the author also gives a brief and to-the-point analysis of each case. The morals can easily be generalized for networks other than Intranets. The book does not intend to go into technical details, so anyone who is interested in network security will find it easy to read. The chapters are well-structured and the most important messages are repeated throughout the book. My experience as an IT consultant shows that the problems highlighted in the book are common to many organizations, so it is a very useful (though not comprehensive) high level guide for Security Managers, Executives and IS Auditors.
