Description

Tim Rains is Microsoft's former Global Chief Security Advisor and Amazon Web Services’ former Global Security Leader for Worldwide Public Sector. He has spent the last two decades advising private and public sector organizations all over the world on cybersecurity strategies. Cybersecurity Threats, Malware Trends, and Strategies, Second Edition builds upon the success of the first edition that has helped so many aspiring CISOs, and cybersecurity professionals understand and develop effective data-driven cybersecurity strategies for their organizations. In this edition, you’ll examine long-term trends in vulnerability disclosures and exploitation, regional differences in malware infections and the socio-economic factors that underpin them, and how ransomware evolved from an obscure threat to the most feared threat in cybersecurity. You’ll also gain valuable insights into the roles that governments play in cybersecurity, including their role as threat actors, and how to mitigate government access to data. The book concludes with a deep dive into modern approaches to cybersecurity using the cloud. By the end of this book, you will have a better understanding of the threat landscape, how to recognize good Cyber Threat Intelligence, and how to measure the effectiveness of your organization's cybersecurity strategy.

Subscriber review

Amazon Customer May 14, 2024

I just finished reading Phillip Wylie's book, "The Pentester’s Blueprint," and I must say, it's an invaluable resource in the realm of cybersecurity. I only wish I had discovered it earlier in my pursuits. Known as a definitive guide in the field of penetration testing, this book comes highly recommended as essential reading—and rightly so. Wylie skillfully presents a wealth of technical information in a way that is both accessible and engaging.The real beauty of this book lies in its approach to teaching complex ideas. Rather than overwhelming the reader with dense technical data, Wylie initiates a gentle, informative discussion that feels more like a leisurely conversation over tea. This style makes the material approachable and intriguing, steering clear of the dryness typically associated with more technical texts. For those interested in delving deeper, he provides useful links and references."The Pentester’s Blueprint" strikes a perfect balance, making it a fascinating exploration of ethical hacking. While it’s filled with valuable insights, the presentation is never daunting. It’s especially beneficial for those who are curious about the role of a pentester or just starting out in the field. I’m truly grateful that many credible sources recommended this book to me.10/10 from me!

It covers a lot of foundational cyber concepts and doesn't drown you with unnecessary info. It's an easy read compared to other books while providing a ton of value. It's a good book to have on your shelf.
