Hey all,
I was curious if there is a compiled recommended reading list for IT Security. I recent sat for the CISM, have the CISSP and I have read Shon Harris, Eric Conrad etc.
Since sitting for the CISM this past weekend I have recently started reading the Network Security Bible by Eric Cole and it is a great read so far. I am wondering if there are other recommended books out there that aren't necessarily too narrow in scope and cover a lot of good information. I know the user LionelTeo (I think that's the username) posts a lot of great reading material for specific SANS courses so I might search out his posts too.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations. I'm taking a break from pursuing any certifications for a few months but want to continue reading/learning in my free time.

What specifically are you looking for in Info Sec? There are numerous books on pen-testing, malicious coding, business continuity, and every other domain under the sun. -

Good question, there really are so many domains, that is why the Network Security Bible was appealing because it touches on so many subjects. I don't do much in regards to pen-testing or malicious coding. I guess the subjects of most interest would be governance, compliance, management etc.
