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.

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.

Kimberly Crawley Feb 04, 2023

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.
