Review :
David Sutton's books provides well researched, comprehensive guide to the multifaceted, rapidly growing cyber domain. It serves as a valuable guide to both current professionals and those wishing to embark on a Cyber Security profession. An excellent read. A very comprehensive primer on cyber security covering issues, solutions and suggestions for further action. After reading this book anyone that worries about cyber security without necessarily wanting to become an expert will find themself much better informed and quite probably much more interested. This book manages to strike a perfect balance between technical breadth and depth. It includes enough detail to understand the broad range of concepts and techniques found in a complex industry, along with practical and real-life examples. This latest revision is packed with recent examples, scenarios, tools, and techniques that make it a fascinating read for both industry veterans and recent joiners alike. Highly recommended. This book describes the eco system of cyber security and provides excellent go-to guides and considerations for people/teams dealing with both technical and non-technical security. Awareness and training are at the very heart of the book, successfully paralleled by descriptions of how our day-to-day information sharing and protection should take place safely. A useful and insightful read and highly recommended. The style and structure makes it an ideal book for students as it covers all the important topics, from the fundamentals of information security such as the CIA model, through to organisational issues (policies and disaster recovery), legal requirements and security standards. Terminology is clearly explained and supported with current, real-world examples. It is a most valuable resource. This book gives a good insight into cyber security, with modern day examples and practical guidance on how to proactively mitigate against risks. This will definitely be a book I refer to frequently. On first reading this book, the biggest impression that greets the reader is that it’s NOT a technical reference book and is widely focused on the wider impact of cyber security on society as a whole. It is not just for technologists and treats a complex subject with just the right level of both technical and socioeconomic balance. Highly recommended. Cyber Security 2e is a rich technical guide on cyber threats. Leaving no stone unturned, the first half touches on key examples and paints a clear picture of the current threat landscape that both individuals and organisations face, and the second half contains solutions. Sutton aptly spotlights a number of actions that anyone could be encouraged to practice for good personal and corporate security. This book is a fantastic resource for those breaking into the industry, or for non-security leaders who want to know more about the risks faced by their business. Written in an accessible manner, this second edition gives readers updated information and current examples showing the changing trends and tactics of attackers. This book is for anyone who wants to understand and learn more about cybersecurity. It provides a foundation of cybersecurity knowledge as well as essential practical skills and techniques for entry and junior-level cybersecurity roles. It is also designed to help learners in building a promising and rewarding career pathway in the cybersecurity field. This highly accessible second edition provides a thorough update to the world of cyber security in a non-technical manner; firstly clarifying cyber security issues and then focusing on cyber security solutions. If you are looking for a go-to reference that explains cyber security in plain language, this book is for you. This book demystifies what can, to many, be a rather bewildering topic, and it sets clear context and eloquently describes the landscape of threats and issues, and provides clear, actionable advice across key topics. A handy and well-written reference guide, and highly recommended reading! A thought-provoking and excellent read. Essential for cybersecurity practitioners working across numerous specialisations and at all levels of management. This blended use of theory and practical applications sets this book apart, complements industry-leading certifications and make it a must-read for anyone working within cyber. This book is not just for cyber professionals, it’s for everyone. This book is easy to follow and clearly articulates what cyber is and why it matters. It provides insights into why cyber-attacks occur and offers practical and technical guidance for individuals and businesses to protect themselves. This will be my go-to resource for cyber security. This book delivers a comprehensive overview of cyber security and is packed with numerous interesting, relevant examples to illustrate key points. Readers will gain insights on why they might be attacked and measures to protect against ever increasing cyber threats. Therefore I highly recommend this publication for individuals and organisations alike. Easy to follow, digestible and highly relevant for the world we live in today. Not just for cybersecurity professionals, business continuity practitioners will gain valuable insight as well as hints and tips on what cybersecurity aspects to consider when developing business continuity plans and response arrangements.
