Book Review: The New School of Information Security
One of the more interesting information security books I have read recently is The New School of Information Security

Hi Jacob,
I see in your Amazon review of the New School that you believe new models of security are needed. I discuss some of the barriers to this in the industry in my review of the book. I would be curious to know what you think.

Hey Rob,
you make some good points in your review. However, I’m not sure what it would mean to improve 10-15 times in security performance when we are still at a stage where we can’t accurately measure our current performance. I think that is one of the major themes of the book. I don’t think the authors succeeded in convincing me that new models of security are needed, but they did make a strong case that new approaches (to achieving existing models of security) and an emphasis on empirical evidence are needed in order to move forward.
