Save your money. Do not buy this book...The book is just a collection of general best-practices that anyone can find using google.- No real-word examples in the book- No intrusion detection howto- No scripts ready to use, no handy labs, etc.- How to secure Cloud, OpenStack, Docker and virtualization, etc..., have not been addressed in this book- Finally, in one word: this book is a bit expensive for nothing...

Throughout the book there are various areas where they've used a font that doesn't render properly in the Kindle Client for Mac. (see image). So, in the key points they're trying to make? You can't read what they're highlighting.How did they not catch this?
