"Mr. Schwartau offers an intriguing process to information systems security which must be seriously considered when developing, baselining, and/or testing the protection mechanisms of today's systems. He explains why fortress mentality and the old ways of security have not worked and provides an alternative, which is an integration of new ideas and the tested ideas such as risk management. His Time-Based Security Model can be nicely integrated as the "other side of the coin" to compliment the penetration testing in a more systematic and cost-effective process." -- Dr. Gerald L. Kovacich, CFE, CPP, CISSP, President, Information Security Management Associates

"Stimulating" -- Dorothy Denning, Professor, Computer Science, Georgetown University

"This book is really right!" -- Dr. Fred Cohen, Principle Member Technical Staff, Sandia National Laboratories; Inventor of Computer Viruses

"Time Based Security is brilliant. Revolutionary thinking! Time Based Security is to computer security as gunpowder was to warfare. For the first time, those who would defend critical infrastructures and priceless intellectual property have a manual for defeating their attackers, and doing so in a cost-effective fashion. The heart of this book is about the relationship between detection time, sunk costs, and sufficient security--this is essential reading." -- Robert D. Steele, President, OSS Inc.

"Time Based Security presents a simple, common sense approach that virtually anyone can use to apply to information assets." -- Lloyd F. Reese, CPP, CISSP, Program Manager
