Unfortunately, this book wasn't the answer. The text appears to be written by multiple authors who weren't interacting with one another and who didn't have an effective editor to channel their ideas into a logical flow of text. Similar topics are covered multiple times throughout the book, and in some cases virtually identical descriptions and disclaimers get repeated. Other times detailed topical points are mentioned briefly only to have the relevant background presented much later in a different context. This book requires frequent usage of the index and table of contents to pull together the information into a useful manner. A very frustrating read.

This book is one to pass on. I'd strongly recommend Ben Forta's ColdFusion 5 Web Application Construction Kit and/or The O'Reilly "Programming Cold Fusion".... Both provide logical well organized coverage of security material and also provide a wealth of general Cold Fusion tips and techniques.
