I had the opportunity to work with Shane from 2019 - 2021. Shane is an incredible human being who is hard working, selfless, and devoted to his craft. One of the most inspiring aspects of working with him was his desire to teach and mentor others. When this book came out, I felt compelled to find the book and dive in. Sure enough, Shane's technical prowess is on display throughout the book. He is able to articulate complex topics such as artificial intelligence integration for detection techniques in a way that is easy to understand for anyone who picks this book up. I also very much appreciated aspects of this book that shed light on fundamental aspects of what organizations should be doing such as benchmarking maturity. Finally, the analysis and insight to where bleeding edge topics like blockchain, privacy, and RegTech were impactful."As blockchain adoption continues to grow, exploring innovative ways to integrate blockchain baseddigital identity into compliance operations will be a key consideration for forward-lookingbusinesses seeking to enhance their regulatory practices in the digital age." - Shane MolinariShane shares many perspectives on the future analysis of these technologies and how they may benefit us. Ultimately, if you are looking for a cutting edge book from an industry expert, this is as good as it gets.

I have been in the international Data Privacy industry for almost 10 years now and have read plenty of books related to data privacy, compliance, and security. Shane's book blew them all out of the water. It is a must read for all Data Privacy and Security Professionals.

Malware Science: A comprehensive guide to detection, analysis, and compliance is a great book for those wanting to learn about Malware. It starts out with a Security+ level description of some common terms and concepts to ensure that the reader has a baseline of knowledge to ensure they can grasp the advanced topics moving forward. This can also be a brief refresher to those in the field that may not work in this area commonly. The next section covers some brief history that can put into perspective how damaging these attacks can be, both from a trust or monetary perspective. While this topic is brief, I still believe this can be a valuable insight into how this can impact organizations. After the history aspect, there are 79 pages of high level and in depth talk about malware. This is where I personally learned a lot. Binary data, cluster loops, flow structures, homology, mathematics, noise, and many more terms that connect the dots within the world of malware. There were several pages dedicated to birth time and death time with a few diagrams. While the book is not meant to be a in depth instruction to create malware or make defensive countermeasures against malware, there were some diagrams and example code to help you understand everything visually. There are many areas where benefits, considerations, and other factors are discussed. Like always, there are tradeoffs for everything and there should be defense in depth to ensure all around security. Generative AI and Machine learning are discussed too! This is another hot topic in many cybersecurity and IT spaces. These two technologies are discussed on how they can be utilized on how they can deter malware. Considerations are also discussed in relation to enterprise security and the CMMI levels. The last section is all about the future. While it is hard to predict the future, I feel that these points are valid and can be a real possibility. With the explosive growth of generative AI and machine learning, the advancement in these areas can truly impact malware. Malware countermeasures could be deployed automatically, there can be better defensive capabilities in cloud environments, and better abilities to train defensive systems to detect the ever-evolving forms of malware.I think that this book will greatly prepare you to know everything about malware from a functional perspective that will best inform senior leadership, project managers, consultants, and cybersecurity aspirants. As bonus value, if you buy the physical book, you can redeem the ebook for free with an included code. I am personally going to keep this as a quick reference guide in any manners related to malware.
