I really like this book by Lester Nichols as it covers many key areas that Cybersecurity Architects do, have done, and/or are expected to do in their role. Although there are differences where one is hands-on vs not hands-on, it is dependent on the organization and job responsibilities you are hired for. This book is packed with great advice and practical examples.The book systematically covers everything from strategic involvement to tactical to what it takes to being a successful cybersecurity architect. We deal with all sorts of challenges but at the same time need to understand the whole landscape involving both technical, non-technical, and knowing how to communicate with leadership teams. I appreciate this book covering some aspects of a hands-on approach, including labs and exercises that allow you to apply what you learn immediately.Whether you are a cybersecurity architect, a security professional, or just passionate about cybersecurity, this book will provide you with a comprehensive foundation and enhance your ability to protect your organization against ever-evolving threats. A must-read for anyone serious about strengthening their cybersecurity defenses as a path towards cybersecurity architecture.
