Book Introduction_Information Security Reader 6th Edition IPA
I have the impression that a relatively large number of questions related to information security appear on exams such as the IT Passport Examination, the Information Security Management Examination, and the Fundamental Information Technology Engineer Examination.
Also, for those who have never taken information-related courses, information security is unfamiliar and intangible, so I think it is an area that is difficult to visualize concretely.
Therefore, for beginners in the information field, I would like to introduce the "Information Security Reader 6th Edition (Jikkyo Shuppan)".
This book is A5 size, 152 pages, and the base price is 600 yen, and the content is compactly summarized. Therefore, I think it would deepen your understanding if you read it at the same time as you start preparing for the IT Passport Examination or the Fundamental Information Technology Engineer Examination.
What was good about actually reading it
・Since basic matters are comprehensively summarized from actual examples of information security to countermeasures, it is good for grasping the learning scope of information security and solidifying the basics.
・It is also full of columns that are useful in real life, such as how to distinguish fake sites and the difference between http: and https:.
・At the end of this book, a glossary of information security technical terms and information security-related URLs are shown.
→ I wish I had purchased and read this when I was studying for the IT Passport Examination.After failing the Information Security Management Examination, I read this book and re-studied (lost and took a detour).
You can understand the overview of information security with just this one book!
●Since the necessary content is compactly summarized, you can grasp the overall picture of information security just by reading it casually.
●By developing from actual examples → basics → for individuals → for organizations → technology → laws and systems → IPA activities, it is devised to be easy for beginners to understand. You can also learn by extracting only the necessary items.
●For content that is difficult to understand in text, such as technical mechanisms, it is explained with illustrations and diagrams.
●It can be used not only as teaching material in educational institutions but also for training new employees and managers in companies.
●The glossary at the end of the book is also useful when reading security-related materials.
●In the 6th edition, new content tailored to the current era, such as telework security and zero trust, has been added.
