About the Book
Applied Rust for Cybersecurity & Systems Engineering is your complete guide to building secure, reliable, and high-performance tools using one of the most trusted languages in modern engineering. Whether you're a beginner exploring systems programming or an experienced developer moving into infrastructure, this book shows you exactly how to use Rust to build solutions that stand up to real operational demands.Rust has become the preferred choice for engineers who care about safety, predictability, and speed. Large organizations now use Rust for secure agents, observability tools, service meshes, distributed platforms, encryption systems, automation pipelines, and performance-critical services. This book takes you from core language concepts to fully engineered systems that you can deploy with confidence.Across ten detailed chapters and several practical appendices, you will learn how to: Build safe and efficient command-line tools with predictable behaviorWork with operating system APIs, system calls, file handling, and process managementDesign secure networking services using TCP, UDP, QUIC, TLS, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3Apply cryptography responsibly with hashing, encryption, digital signatures, and key rotationBuild cloud-native services that integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes, Docker, serverless platforms, and major cloud providersDesign event-driven automation agents for CI/CD pipelines, observability, and infrastructure operationsApply performance tuning strategies using profiling, benchmarking, memory analysis, and async optimizationDeploy Rust tools across Linux, Windows, macOS, containers, and multi-platform environmentsImplement safe update mechanisms, structured logging, metrics, tracing, and runtime monitoringIntegrate Rust-based tools into large enterprise environments with strong security and compliance requirementsThis book stands out because it focuses on real engineering problems, not just language syntax. Every chapter is written with a professional yet approachable tone, with clear definitions, accurate examples, and hands-on guidance that helps you build production-ready systems.You will learn how to design secure system agents, build distributed automation tools, forward logs efficiently, instrument services for production, write concurrency-safe applications, and follow industry-grade security practices. The appendices provide curated guidance on essential crates, secure coding checklists, performance tools, and additional learning pathways-helping you continue growing long after you finish reading.This is not just another Rust book. It is a practical blueprint for anyone who wants to build tools that are safe, resilient, fast, and ready for modern infrastructure.Who This Book Is ForSystems programmersCloud and DevOps engineersSecurity engineers and red/blue/purple teamsInfrastructure developersBackend and platform engineersStudents learning Rust for practical use casesAnyone responsible for building reliable and secure automation toolsIf you want to improve your engineering skills, adopt modern practices, and build tools that you can trust in production, this book was written for you.If you're ready to build fast, secure, and professional-grade systems with Rust-tools that perform reliably under pressure and scale across modern infrastructure-scroll up and get your copy now.
