I saw this book sitting all by itself on the shelf at the library, and thought I'd give it a spin. This book is a broad overview of Cybersecurity, I was hoping for more details as specifics of events tent to hold the keys to linking events together. As a broad over view of the field, the author has done by the reader. As a professional in the field, I would say stay away, there are only a handful of details mentioned in the book that are worth the time. The cybersecrity field is constantly changing and sadly this book was written in 2012. Consequently, some of the references in the book are outdated. On the other hand, its funny that in the intervening years law and cybersecurity policy haven't caught up to the issues that were presented in 2012. The best predictions that he made were about cloud computing, the balkinization of the internet, and competing internet parallel networks emerging.
