Security Fundamentals

Introduction to Cyber Security is a book for all ages, irrespective of gender, but without the common technical jargon. The objective of this book is to provide the essentials regarding what cyber security is really about and not the perception of it being related purely to hacking activity.

For a beginner, hacking can seem like something scary or hard to do. Sometimes, we see movies and read the news on how systems such as Snapchat, eBay, or Google have been compromised and imagine that hacking is difficult. We think of it as something meant for people spending 24 hours a day in a basement, somewhere. This is not the case. This field is open for anyone.

In Cybersecurity Risk Management: Mastering the Fundamentals Using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, veteran technology analyst Cynthia Brumfield, with contributions from cybersecurity expert Brian Haugli, delivers an up-to-date exploration of the fundamentals of cybersecurity risk planning and management. The book offers listeners overviews of cybersecurity risk management principles, user, and network infrastructure planning, as well as the tools and techniques for detecting cyberattacks.
