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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who is looking to implement or improve their organization's cybersecurity strategy. This includes Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Security Officers (CSOs), compliance and audit professionals, security architects, and cybersecurity professionals. Basic knowledge of Information Technology (IT), software development principles, and cybersecurity concepts is assumed.

  • Implement and then measure the outcome of a cybersecurity strategy

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.

This is a great book for linking foundational concepts to higher level security strategies. As a person entering the cybersecurity industry, this book has helped expand my foundational knowledge of security processes and has introduced a more in-depth understanding of what is involved.

The cyber threat landscape is more complex than ever. Most businesses have no idea how to deal with it.So I was pleasantly surprised by Mr. Rains' book. Various areas of enterprise cybersecurity are well covered-- threat intelligence, information security policy, the CISO role, analyzing threats with MITRE ATT@CK, incident response, security culture... the whole gamut.I wrote 8 Steps to Better Security for Wiley Tech a couple of years ago, for a business cybersecurity introduction in my own style. Frankly, my book and Rains' book are complementary, and both should be read by cybersecurity professionals of all kinds. Especially if you're a business decision maker.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
