Security Patterns Book

"I do not have a quick solution or answer; I simply have concerns. I am worried that people try to implement solutions with the very good intent of solving the fast-paced business needs of today, yet are opening themselves up to threats of a new malicious nature. To a great extent security is an intellectual challenge more than a technological solution. Simply throwing hardware and software at it, will not solve the problem. The book Security Patterns - Integrating Security and Systems Engineering is well worth a read as well." -- Schalk Cronjé
"Sometimes the subject of IT security can be a bit overwhelming with too many (or too few) options. But if you can break it down to specific items or patterns, it starts to become much easier to work with. [...] They have produced a nice reference volume that does just that." -- Tom Duff
