Resumen del Editor

An accessible introduction to cybersecurity concepts and practices.

Cybersecurity Essentials provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, with expert coverage of essential topics required for entry-level cybersecurity certifications. An effective defense consists of four distinct challenges: securing the infrastructure, securing devices, securing local networks, and securing the perimeter. Overcoming these challenges requires a detailed understanding of the concepts and practices within each realm. This book covers each challenge individually for greater depth of information, with real-world scenarios that show what vulnerabilities look like in everyday computing scenarios. Each part concludes with a summary of key concepts, review questions, and hands-on exercises, allowing you to test your understanding while exercising your new critical skills.

Cybersecurity jobs range from basic configuration to advanced systems analysis and defense assessment. This book provides the foundational information you need to understand the basics of the field, identify your place within it, and start down the security certification path.

• Learn security and surveillance fundamentals
• Secure and protect remote access and devices
• Understand network topologies, protocols, and strategies
• Identify threats and mount an effective defense

Cybersecurity Essentials gives you the building blocks for an entry level security certification and provides a foundation of cybersecurity knowledge.

Better than most cyber security books on Audible

Good for CompTIA Security+, but also just good for general "this is what you need to know, now explore these topics in more depth".

Good Material / Tough to digest in audio format

Good content and reader was solid. As should be expected for a resource / study guide it is a bit tough to digest in audio format without visuals etc

Maybe good

Not good for audible listening. The guys voice is terribly boring and the book is probably better digested by reading it. It was my free trial book and I’d love to return it and use my free trial on a different book.

basic to Intermediate average of security

I can listen to it over and over I have almost 60 70% of security questions memorize so it's good to listen to it's not bad I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get a good understanding of security from project manager to business admin or an entry-level desktop or security person

good review

not very entertaining

good for exam prep

lots of relevant info

could be better if there were examples our stories mixed in

Highly informative

I am new to cyber security and this book broke down so many things I was struggling with! Highly recommended for anyone studying for any cyber security certification exams.

Need the book

The audio reads tables and such to you. Really suggest the actual book for tables and diagrams.

Introduce Cyber Security

Very basic explanation of NIST Cyber Security Framework and associated best practices. This might be acceptable for a first year computer science student.

Not made for audio...

There are challenges in the book that are impossible to do with only sound. The narrator's voice was monotonous as well.
