Short review about Cybersecurity – Attack and Defense Strategies (3rd Ed) by Yuri Diogenes and Dr Erdal Ozkaya. It has been a few years since I read the first edition of this book, and from what I recall, the first book was a convenient reference on the topic of cybersecurity strategy. Although unfortunately, I did not get to read the book end-to-end, it was valuable at the time in my research on the creation of incident response playbooks.I am pleased to say the third edition has not disappointed me with the depth and quality of the information. Included here is my feedback on some of the select chapters. Chapter 1. Security Posture - An excellent initial readout on the cybersecurity world's current and evolving threat landscape. I liked that it was not presented as a "doom and gloom" readout but as a realistic scenario that cybersecurity practitioners should be aware of and, more importantly, how to be prepared for it. It was also great to see the authors include concepts of Zero Trust concepts in this book. Zero Trust is a simple concept; however, the messaging can easily confuse someone new to this. Hence it is good to see that the authors present the topic in an easy-to-understand fashion especially tying this back to the NIST special publication and the principles captured within that.Chapter 2. Incident Response Process. Since I was familiar with this chapter in the first edition, I was curious to find out what had changed. In my opinion, the core concepts have remained the same. However, it was good to see the inclusion of additional real-world scenarios, which is something the readers will benefit from.Chapter 4. Understanding the Cybersecurity Kill Chain. No serious publication on cybersecurity attacks and a defence strategy will be complete without the cybersecurity kill chain model, and this book provides comprehensive coverage on this topic. Chapter 4 provides the foundations for the kill chain, and the latter chapters go deeper into distinct steps. I also liked that additional focus has been provided on the new and emerging attack vectors, such as IoT security.The remainder of the book focuses on helping organisations build effective security policies and the surrounding threat intelligence platforms. The final chapters are focused more on incident response, vulnerability management and real-world log analysis using on-prem and cloud-based systems.In summary, I really enjoyed this book, and I am also a bit embarrassed to say that it had taken me almost 5 years to read the book end-to-end (all be it was the 3rd edition that I was most interested in reviewing). This book will appeal to a broad audience of IT security practitioners, starting with the Cx team responsible for the overall cybersecurity strategy, to security architects involved in designing and deploying security solutions and equally appealing to the cybersecurity operations team responsible for incident response planning.

I've found this book to be super helpful for me: an IT professional looking to transition into the Cybersecurity space. It provides a wealth of InfoSec material that any IT professional could benefit from. I strongly recommend it!
