outstanding book!
Proves a number of really useful concepts and ideas that can be applied by defenders to help level the field against attackers. The hard part, as always, will be merging these concepts with ongoing efforts and educating leadership of the value of this shift in defensive mindset.

Basic but with some good chapters
A good book for beginners, some chapters were pretty basic, my favourite parts were the purple teaming and the last chapter about the challenges that includes loads of references about cloud and specially good explanation about Identity and access management
