Every day we hear new stories about people being attacked by cybercriminals. Companies being hacked and losing millions of people's personal details or being locked out of their systems and held to ransom.

Cybercrime is on the rise. Our information is more valuable and vulnerable than ever. It’s important to learn to protect ourselves from those who wish to exploit the technology we rely on daily. Cybercriminals want to steal your money and identity and spy on you.

Did you know that a home without a security system is three times more likely to be targeted for a break-in than one with an alarm fitted? This is a sobering thought. If you want to avoid becoming a statistic in the one in five homes that suffer a home invasion every year, then getting a decent alarm system should be a paramount consideration. Your Short Guide to Security Systems has detailed information to help you make informed choices that protect your property and keep your family from harm.

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.

La guida definitiva al mondo finanziario del Futuro. Ci sarà un modo parallelo che chiameremo Metaverso. I soldi che ci faremo girare dentro saranno le criptovalute, mentre gli NFT rappresenteranno l'unicità degli oggetti digitali, e non si tratterà soltanto di figurine di scimmie, ma anche di musica, videogiochi, vestiti, passaporti e immobili. I pezzi del puzzle esistono già, sembra che sia arrivato il momento di metterli tutti insieme.

¿Qué sucedería si fueras capaz de mirar dentro de las mentes de toda la población del mundo entero? ¿Qué pasaría si fueras capaz de influir en los más débiles con rumores que solo ellos pudieran ver? Por vez primera, el gran denunciante de Cambridge Analytica cuenta la verdadera historia sobre la extracción de datos y la manipulación psicológica detrás de hechos históricos de gran dimensión, como la elección de Donald Trump o el referéndum del Brexit, conectando Facebook, WikiLeaks, los servicios de inteligencia de Rusia y hackers internacionales de todo el mundo.

This is a breakdown of the NIST risk management framework process for cybersecurity professionals getting into security compliance. It is written in layman's terms, without the convoluted way it is described in the NIST SP 800-37 revision 2. It goes into what the information system security officer does at each step in the process and where their attention should be focused. Although the main focus is on implementation of the NIST 800 RMF process, this book covers many of the main concepts on certifications, such as the ISC2 CAP.

Gobiernos y cientos de empresas nos espían: a ti y a todos tus conocidos. Quieren predecir nuestro comportamiento e influir en él. Tienen demasiado poder.

A PIDD is a Perpetual Involuntary Data Donor. Surveillance capitalists love PIDDs because PIDDs materially support the data extraction industry by unwittingly surrendering their personal information, paying for data transport and storage, and tolerating poor technology performance. Our Digital Civics Framework presents a guide to increasing the data literacy of billions of citizens. We outline the data knowledge that society needs and propose exercises that will help citizens interact productively within a data-driven society.

Every organization needs a strong security program. One recent study estimated that a hacker attack occurs somewhere every 37 seconds. Since security programs are only as effective as a team's willingness to follow their rules and protocols, it's increasingly necessary to have not just a widely accessible gold standard of security, but also a practical plan for rolling it out and getting others on board with following it. Security Awareness for Dummies gives you the blueprint for implementing this sort of holistic and hyper-secure program in your organization.

The National Security Agency (NSA) formed a Cybersecurity Directorate in 2019 with the charge to prevent and eradicate threats to the United States’ National Security Systems and critical infrastructure, with an initial focus on the Defense Industrial Base and its service providers. Drawing on the NSA’s rich information assurance legacy, the Cybersecurity Directorate refocused to meet the demands of the present and the future. It integrated key parts of the NSA’s cybersecurity mission into a more public-facing organization determined to raise the cybersecurity bar.

Speaking about the "metaverse" is like having a discussion about what "the internet" was in the 1990s. Today, there is a new form of communication and we're in the process of building a new reality but don't really know what the future holds. There is a lot of marketing hype wrapped up in this idea of the metaverse, from Crypto, NFT, and Blockchain to digital wardrobes. To help you get a sense of how vague and complex a term the "metaverse" can be, this audiobook is written around the parameters of what the metaverse means but more importantly cybersecurity.

Why GAO did this study. The internet is a global system of interconnected networks used by billions of people across the world to perform personal, educational, commercial, and governmental tasks. The US Government over time has relinquished its oversight role of the internet. A global, multistakeholder community made up of many organizations shapes internet policy, operations, and security. But the ongoing and increasing reliance on the internet underscores the need to understand the risks to its underlying architecture.

Ransomware is a type of malicious attack where attackers encrypt an organization’s data and demand payment to restore access. This Ransomware Profile identifies the Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1 security objectives that support identifying, protecting against, detecting, responding to, and recovering from ransomware events. The profile can be used as a guide to managing the risk of ransomware events. That includes helping to gauge an organization’s level of readiness to counter ransomware threats and to deal with the potential consequences of events.

This eye-opening book provides vital information that has been out of reach to those who need it most—the millions of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft users who have come to love and depend upon these digital products. Veteran consumer advocate Jane Hoffman makes the complex world of Big Tech simple to grasp as she reveals exactly how Big Tech uses—and abuses—your personal information. And she proposes a bold blueprint for reforming these corporate behemoths.

The Framework is organized by five key functions—identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. These five terms provide a comprehensive way to view the lifecycle for managing cybersecurity risk. The activities listed under each function offer a good starting point for any organization, including those with limited resources to address cybersecurity challenges. They help to set priorities so that an organization gets the greatest value out of its efforts to manage ransomware risks.

Guidance for securing networks continues to evolve as new vulnerabilities are exploited by adversaries, new security features are implemented, and new methods of securing devices are identified. All networks are at risk of compromise, especially if devices are not properly configured and maintained. This report presents best practices for overall network security and protection of individual network devices, and will assist administrators in preventing an adversary from exploiting their network.
