Re: Dear friends,

 Information systems security is an extremely vast subject, and there are a
wealth of material out there covering all sorts of security aspects, I'm
sure you can spend a whole year out and still not cover everything :) 
what I'm saying is if you have a more specific area in mind, it'll be of
greater help to us in providing you with references.

  for a start, there are some good books on cryptography and security which
you can look at, i particularly like Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier
(2nd edition latest) for cryptography and authentication protocols. Maybe
someone can suggest another more related to management of network security,
i still havent found a good book on that particular area.. also, there's a
good Firewalls FAQ at
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/firewalls-faq/faq.htm
which includes some refs to printed material.

  Enjoy.. 

regards,
Farez
