Narrated by: William Bahl

Length: 1 hr and 26 mins

Publisher's Summary

The audiobook considers the problems related to cybersecurity in the individual as well as the organizational setting. Cybersecurity is essential to the organization considering the growing technological dependencies that organizations are continuously facing. The audiobook considers the nature of threats of cybercrime from hacking to data manipulation. 

The text also considers intrusions related to corruption of information and its theft where the organization suffers from loss of crucial data. Conversely, there is data manipulation where the information is corrupted without the knowledge of the users in the organization. The audiobook tackles the methods of dealing with these types of intrusions and how to mitigate risk through policy changes. 

These policies are known as risk management framework for the organizations to secure their data from the basic levels to advanced security settings. These include the steps for cybersecurity planning maturity, addressing process risks and elements related to personnel vulnerabilities. Technological risks form the last part of the audiobook, as advancing processes need to be considered for the future of cybersecurity in organizations.

Really good course

This audiobook by Zach Webber is very comprehensive in covering what needs to be done and what to avoid when trying to make things secure.

This book covers verified steps and tactics on how to increase the level of Cybersecurity in the organization and as an individual. It sheds light on the potential weak points which are used for infiltration points and gives examples of these breaches. Hence, the book provides policies and strategies meant to tackle the developing threats of cybercrime in a technologically dependent world.

The author provides in-depth information and points out the potential areas of weakness in facilities and as an individual, and gives frameworks and defense strategies that would significantly reduce the chances of being infiltrated. It includes establishing a risk management framework, which entails integrating cyber risk into the firm problems and making it a managerial priority.

In general, a really good course with lots of great info on getting started in cybersecurity as a career.

A solid 5 stars!

I found the book to be a good experience, although networking has never been my strongest field in terms of computing. Through it, I have learned what cybersecurity is, the Cybersecurity and Advanced System Security, Establishing a Risk Management Framework, Addressing Process Risks, People and Policy Risks, Data Manipulation Concerns, and Addressing Technology Risks.

As always Zach teaches in a nice and clear manner, starting by going through some basics before moving on to some novice/intermediate stuff. Most of the networking concepts are explained by the lecturer really well. The sections detailing how we are tracked online and how to mitigate those methods with various tools and browser security are among the sections that I found most interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed the course and I would recommend it to anybody who at least has some basic knowledge/concepts of networking.

In-detail

The fascinating subject matter can be complex, however, the author does an excellent job of explaining challenging concepts in an easy-to-understand teacher-to-student dialogue. In my opinion, it is necessary for people working as system administrators.

This course brought me many discoveries and made me think about my safety. Being a beginner is a great way to learn Cyber Security. All the topics were explained so well. I able to understand almost pretty much everything and even he has explained everything in an effective manner so that everyone can get the things easily.

If you’re new to cybersecurity then this book is for you. It explains what to expect and so on.

Highly recommended

The book provides an understanding of how cyber-criminals gain access to organizations and provides a framework of how organizations could protect themselves. I would recommend this book to all company executives, company directors, IT staff, and cybersecurity practitioners.

Very well written and detailed book!

Very well written and detailed book!Very current with the latest challenges within the cybersecurity space. Highly recommended even for seasoned cybersecurity professionals!

Love it

As an information security consultant catering services to organizations, this may not be completely applicable as it talks more about the security measures an individual should take to protect themselves. However, the book was easy to understand and written in a way that even beginners can grasp easily.

Amazing book

This is an amazing course for Cybersecurity. I absolutely love it, and it makes me more and more passionate about continuing and going forward in this field. Thank you, Zach, for such a good, engaging, and comprehensive presentation.

Clear concept

For few years I was looking for a book that can clear concepts in Cybersecurity. This book totally comes under that spectrum. It is a well-written book and to be very honest whatever I have not learned from my university I am learning from this book. I would say a must book for people who are starting a career in Cybersecurity

Thankful

While I am very well versed in security, the author manages to come up with interesting bits that I did not know. Well worth every penny. If you have any interest in real cybersecurity, for any reason, this course will take you from "ignorant of anything" to knowing more than most of the "experts" out in the world.

Must-have for all

This book contains the essential knowledge for anyone who is interested in learning or pursuing a career in the field of cybersecurity. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional within the industry, this is a must-have book for all.

Very informative
