Computer Security

The protection of cyberspace has become a vital national interest because of its importance both to the economy and to military power. An attacker may tamper with networks to steal information for money or to disrupt operations. Future wars are likely to be carried out, in part or perhaps entirely, in cyberspace. It might therefore seem obvious that maneuvering in cyberspace is like maneuvering in other media, but nothing would be more misleading. Cyberspace has its own laws.

The rise of new technologies in our lives, which has taken us from powerful mobile phones to fitness trackers and smart appliances in under a decade, has also raised the need for everyone who uses these to protect themselves from cyber scams and hackers. Every new device and online service you use that improves your life also opens new doors for attackers looking to discover your passwords, banking accounts, personal photos, and anything else you want to keep secret.

This is a breakdown of each of the NIST 800-53 security control families and how they relate to each step in the NIST 800-37 risk management framework process. It is written by someone in the field in layman's terms, with practical use in mind. This book is not a replacement for the NIST 800 special publications. It is a supplemental resource that will give context and meaning to the controls for organizations and cybersecurity professionals tasked with interpreting the security controls.

Protect Your Digital Life in Minutes—Even If You’re Not Tech-Savvy! Every click, every login, and every online interaction exposes you to digital threats—identity theft, hacking, and scams that can compromise your personal and financial security. But what if protecting yourself was simpler than you thought?" A Beginner’s Guide to Digital Prepping & Practical Cybersecurity" cuts through the confusion, offering clear, step-by-step strategies to safeguard your accounts, secure your family’s digital footprint, and prevent cyber threats—without requiring advanced technical skills.

Whether you're a seasoned professional looking to expand your knowledge or a newcomer seeking to kickstart your cybersecurity career, RMF Security Control Assessor by Bruce Brown, CISSP, is the ultimate guide to mastering the art of cybersecurity assessments.

As the times have shifted in the last decade or so, we have started to depend more and more upon our computers as well as other electronic devices for our needs. The United States’ reliance on networked systems and the high costs associated with cyber attacks have led many leaders in the US government and the Department of Defense (DOD) to prioritize protecting our critical networked infrastructure. Part of that focus is trying to develop a strategy for deterring adversaries from attacking our networks in the first place.

The purpose of this book is to provide an average computer user with the knowledge that will help them stay safe while online, as well as help them make privacy choices that work for them. My goal is to explain online threats in terms that don't require a technical background to understand. All techno-speak will be limited, and where it cannot be avoided, I will first explain them in common, non-technical terms.

As cloud technology becomes increasingly essential across industries, the need for thorough security knowledge and certification has never been more crucial. The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) exam, globally recognized and highly respected, presents a formidable challenge for many. Author Graham Thompson offers you in-depth guidance and practical tools not only to pass the exam but also to grasp the broader implications of cloud security.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 provides guidance to industry, government agencies, and other organizations to manage cybersecurity risks. It offers a taxonomy of high-level cybersecurity outcomes that can be used by any organization - regardless of its size, sector, or maturity - to better understand, assess, prioritize, and communicate its cybersecurity efforts.

The information security industry is undergoing a major change, forced by the rise of end-to-end encryption, encryption that cannot be intercepted, transport protocol stack evolution, "zero trust networks", and distributed computing. While we understand the logical connections between these trends, there is little analysis of all of these trends in combination. Examination of all five trends uncovers opportunities that not only improve the state of information security and the general posture, but also lead to resource reductions necessary for information security to be sustainable.

Have you wondered what hacking is all about? How do people hack and what are some basic precautions you can take to prevent being hacked? It seems like everyone is being hacked. Celebrities, politicians, large organizations, banks, schools, universities etc. Well, how does this happen? What are the different kinds of attacks? Is there any way you can improve your safety?

The Internet was meant to set us free. But have we unwittingly handed too much away to shadowy powers behind a wall of code, all manipulated by a handful of Silicon Valley utopians, ad men, and venture capitalists? And, in light of recent data breach scandals around companies like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, what does that mean for democracy, our delicately balanced system of government that was created long before big data, total information, and artificial intelligence? In this urgent polemic, Jamie Bartlett argues that through our unquestioning embrace of big tech, the building blocks of democracy are slowly being removed.
