Cybersecurity: Books

Written in an easy to understand, self-teaching format, this book is designed to provide the reader with the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity and cybercrime. -- Edited summary from book.

A practical handbook to cybersecurity for both tech and non-tech professionals As reports of major data breaches fill the headlines, it has become impossible for any business, large or small, to ignore the importance of cybersecurity. Most books on the subject, however, are either too specialized for the non-technical professional or too general for positions in the IT trenches. ...the Cybersecurity Blue Team Toolkit strikes the perfect balance of substantive and accessible, making it equally useful to those in IT or management positions across a variety of industries. This handy guide takes a simple and strategic look at best practices and tools available to both cybersecurity management and hands-on professionals, whether they be new to the field or looking to expand their expertise.

This book is designed for security and risk assessment professionals, DevOps engineers, penetration testers, cloud security engineers, and cloud software developers who are interested in learning practical approaches to cloud security. It covers practical strategies for assessing the security and privacy of your cloud infrastructure and applications and shows how to make your cloud infrastructure secure to combat threats, attacks, and prevent data breaches.

The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices such as vehicles, home appliances sensors, actuators and other electronic devices. The development of internet offers the possibility for these objects to connect and exchange data. Since IoT will pay a major role in our lives, it is important to secure the IoT ecosystem for its value to be realized. Among the various security requirements, authentication to the IoT is importance since it is the first step to prevent the impact of attackers. The book offers an insight into the development of various authentication mechanisms to provide IoT authentication in various levels such as user level, device level and network level. The user-level authentication identifies whether the IoT user is a legitimate user to access the smart object services and what kind of authentication mechanisms can be used. Network level authentication is needed to check the identity of connected IoT devices. This book, therefore, offers reference material which will be important for all relative stakeholders of mobile networks such as network operators, cloud operators, IoT device manufacturers, IoT device users, wireless users, IoT standardization organizations and security solution developers

In a unique and systematic way, this book discusses the security and privacy aspects of the cloud, and the relevant cloud forensics. Cloud computing is an emerging yet revolutionary technology that has been changing the way people live and work. However, with the continuous growth of cloud computing and related services, security and privacy has become a critical issue. Written by some of the top experts in the field, this book specifically discusses security and privacy of the cloud, as well as the digital forensics of cloud data, applications, and services

Security concerns around the rapid growth and variety of devices that are controlled and managed over the Internet is an immediate potential threat to all who own or use them. This book examines the issues surrounding these problems, vulnerabilities, what can be done to solve the problems, investigating the roots of the problems and how programming and attention to good security practice can combat the threats today that are a result of lax security processes on the Internet of Things, cloud computing and social media.

Cyberspace is a critical part of our lives. Although we all use cyberspace for work, entertainment, and social life, much of its infrastructure and operation is invisible to us. We spend a big part of our lives in an environment that is almost an essential service but is full of potential dangers: a place where criminals can commit new kinds of crimes, where governments can exert political pressure, and where we can be hurt by the unthinking actions of the bored and careless. Making cyberspace more secure is one of the challenges of our times. This is not only (or perhaps even primarily) a technical challenge. It requires actions by governments and businesses to encourage security whenever possible, and to make sure that their own actions do not undermine it. Unfortunately, many of those in a position to do something about cybersecurity do not have the background to understand the issues fully. Cybersecurity for Everyone will help by describing the issues in a way that is accessible to anyone, but especially those from non-technical backgrounds.
