Story
Do you want to protect yourself from Cyber Security attacks? If so then keep reading. There have been various solutions given to decrease your attack surface and mitigate the risks of cyberattacks. These can also be used on a small scale to protect yourself as an individual from such infiltrations. To avoid cybercrime from evolving, and to not become better at infiltration and such, cyber security needs to stay a practice that adapts to growing problems, thus far, the hackers/attackers are outpacing defenders.

The Perfect Weapon is the startling inside story of how the rise of cyberweapons transformed geopolitics like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes, cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists. Two presidents - Bush and Obama - drew first blood with Operation Olympic Games, which used malicious code to blow up Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, and yet America proved remarkably unprepared when its own weapons were stolen from its arsenal.

Publisher's Summary
Cyber security is here to stay.
Do you often wonder how cyber security applies to your everyday life, what’s at risk, and how can you specifically lock down your devices and digital trails to ensure you are now “hacked”?
Do you own a business and now becoming aware of how dangerous the cyber threats are to your assets? Would you like to know how to quickly create a cyber security plan for your business, without dealing with any technical jargon?
Are you interested in pursuing a career in cyber security? Did you know that the average starting salary of a cyber security professional ranges from $65,000 to $80,000 and jumps to multiple figures in a few years, depending on how far you want to go.
Here is an interesting statistic, you are already compromised. Yes, at some point, one of your digital devices or activities has been hacked and your information has been sold. If you knew how bad the threats really are, you would never go online again or you would be very paranoid.
And we’re not talking about those ads that suddenly pop up and follow you around everywhere because you were looking at sunglasses for sale on google or Amazon, that’s called retargeting marketing and is totally legal and legitimate.
We’re talking about malware that hides deep in your device watching everything you do and type, just as one example among hundreds
Our society has become saturated with internet-connected devices and trackers everywhere.
From home routers to your mobile phones, most people are easily hacked if targeted. But it gets even deeper than this; technology has advanced now to where most hacks are automated, by software. International hackers have vast networks and computers set up to conduct non-stop scans, pings, and probes for weaknesses in millions of IP addresses and network domains, such as businesses and residential home routers.
Check your router log and you’ll see it yourself. Now most devices have firewalls but still, that is what’s called an persistent threat that is here to stay, it’s growing and we all need to be aware of how to protect ourselves starting today.
In this introductory audiobook, we will cover verified steps and tactics on how to increase the level of cyber security in an organization and as an individual. It sheds light on the potential weak points which are used as infiltration points and gives examples of these breaches. We will also talk about cyber crime in a technologically-dependent world (Think IoT).
Cyber security has come a long way from the days that hacks could only be perpetrated by a handful of individuals, and they were mostly done on the larger firms or government databases. Now, everyone with a mobile device, home system, car infotainment, or any other computing device is a point of weakness for malware or concerted attacks from hackers, real or automated.
We have adopted anti-viruses and several firewalls to help prevent these issues to the point we have become oblivious to the majority of the attacks. The assistance of malware blocking tools allows our computing devices to fight thousands of attacks per day. Interestingly, cyber crime is a very lucrative industry, as has been proven by the constant investment by criminals on public information. It would be wise to pay at least half as much attention to your security.

This is a recommended listen.
What I like best about this is that it assumes you have virtually no knowledge of the security field, can operate a computer with some skill, and understand how to follow directions. The high-level view is really best for the true novice and helps to take away some of the intimidation of the field. I have been meaning to learn to hack all this time and this book has just got my attention. I have learned so many things from this book that can help me with some hacking kinds of stuff.

Cybersecurity risk measurement reimagined
The Audible version is well done, with the first two sections easy to follow and comprehend with only a few rewinds for grasping the intricacies of the theory. However, the third section is nearly impossible to follow audibly as the reader is required to voice long and complex Excel mathematical formulas. Of course, this is not a fault of the authors or the performance, just a result of the deep subject matter and detailed examples.

I found the most interesting aspect of the book
I found the most interesting aspect of the book to be the policy-level discussions of hacking. If a state hacks another state and shuts down a power plant, what constitutes an appropriate response? Does it make sense for the victim state to move the conflict to the “real” world and bomb an attacker’s power plant in retaliation? Also, the difficulties in determining just who initiated an attack are explored. All in all, I recommend this book for the reader who wants a good overview of an issue that will likely dominate geopolitics in the coming decades.

A fascinating book, it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of cybersecurity and the incredible challenges facing cybersecurity professionals. Very detailed, the authors go to great lengths to point out some very scary vulnerabilities and they also dispel some fears that are probably overblown. Very even-handed in how they approach political perspectives for cyber strategies. The narrator does an excellent job. Highly recommended.
