Description

After scrutinizing numerous cybersecurity strategies, Microsoft’s former Global Chief Security Advisor in this book helps you understand the efficacy of popular cybersecurity strategies and more. Cybersecurity Threats, Malware Trends, and Strategies offers an unprecedented long-term view of the global threat landscape by examining the twenty-year trend in vulnerability disclosures and exploitation, nearly a decade of regional differences in malware infections, the socio-economic factors that underpin them, and how global malware has evolved. This will give you further perspectives into malware protection for your organization. It also examines internet-based threats that CISOs should be aware of. The book will provide you with an evaluation of the various cybersecurity strategies that have ultimately failed over the past twenty years, along with one or two that have actually worked. It will help executives and security and compliance professionals understand how cloud computing is a game changer for them. By the end of this book, you will know how to measure the effectiveness of your organization’s cybersecurity strategy and the efficacy of the vendors you employ to help you protect your organization and yourself.

Who is this book for?

I found the trends most interesting and even refer to them when trying to make a point in some presentations. The authors insight into motivations to commit cybercrimes along with his cybersecurity strategy gives a well-rounded perspective that every security leader can apply. Coming from a background of vulnerability management and compliance, I was able to gain additional insight. After all, there's more than one way to do things! Excellent read!

Tim Rains has definitely captured my attention with his book, 'Cybersecurity Threats, Malware Trends and Strategies'. This title is very informative as it begins with discussing strategies threat actors uses to compromise systems and outlines various trends on multi-vendor platforms. Furthermore, the cybersecurity strategies and strategy implementation section was very insightful to current threats. I would highly recommend this book for any in the cybersecurity industry.
