The Fundamentals of Cyber Security provides a comprehensive introduction to the key concepts, principles and practices of cybersecurity. The book covers a wide range of topics, including cyber security, cyber crimes, cyber threats and physical security.
Many texts on cybersecurity are geared towards teaching principles, techniques, tools and methods in depth, which can overwhelm readers who are not well versed in technology or who work in other professions. This book takes a different approach: it presents the essential points in a simple and straightforward manner that most people can follow, and it explains the mechanisms behind the most common threats so that readers understand the criminal mindset and strategies, and can avoid becoming a target or a victim.
