the reviews on this are def rigged. They ask for a review in the book so I will be honest- I don’t really get the point of it. it’s not interesting enough for the average person to read but it’s not in depth enough to be like an academic book so not quite sure what debra and her husband were thinking… don’t mean that to be rude!
Cybersecurity Data Protection is a pretty solid guide for both beginners and those with some tech know-how, though it leans a little more toward the IT crowd at times. The book does a great job of laying out practical strategies for protecting your data, and it’s easy enough to follow for non-techies—most of the time. The author clearly tries to make things accessible, and in many parts, they succeed.
The real-world case studies, especially in finance, add a nice touch, showing how these methods work in actual situations. The legal stuff—GDPR, CCPA—may not be the most thrilling part, but it’s super helpful if you need to stay compliant. And the chapter on training employees to avoid social engineering attacks? Definitely worth a look, especially if you’ve got that one coworker who clicks on sketchy links without a second thought.
That said, there are sections where the book veers into more advanced territory, especially around AI and machine learning. It’s interesting but can feel like overkill if you’re just trying to secure your small business or home network. Some parts might leave you thinking, "Okay, this is great, but do I really need all this?" A bit more balance could’ve made it easier to digest for the average reader.
In short, it's a valuable resource with plenty of useful info, but be ready for some tech-heavy moments. If you're willing to sift through a bit of jargon, you'll find a lot of helpful strategies here. A solid four stars—practical and informative, just not always the smoothest ride for everyone.
The digital threat has become a way of life for all and is much more menacing for the older generation, seventy-year-old and older, ‘those not born with digital thumb up the byte.’ So, how should they cope? Firewalls? They are not industrial companies. Learn coding? Too late. Subscribe to ubiquitous and expensive protective phishing, spam, etc. blockers? How would they know which is which? The book attempts to elucidate but still needs more dumbing down. It is still an interesting read, however.
Great overview, although many details are really for IT professionals. With all the data breaches occurring lately, this book is a great educational tool to help understand the risks. I’d never heard of XSS (cross-site scripting) before. But now I have a clue why the rash of recent sign-ups to a mailing list had a bunch of gibberish for the first and last name fields. (They could have left that blank). It just felt suspicious… now it feels malicious.
I’m thinking about purchasing this paperback for reference for my library. It contains how to understand various aspects of cyberthreats and basics of network security in an easy to understand format. Included are many nuggets, including how to set up a secure network, vital in today’s cyber world. We must take responsibility for our own cyber protection and this book will be of great value in this area.
The author does a great job of providing a high level, simplified overview of cybersecurity, why it is important and what happens if security is compromised. This is good book for beginners unfamiliar with the concepts to get started. The information is easy to understand and follow. Readers can select specific topics throughout this book to research in greater detail from additional source information.
Be vigilant, be flexible, be fast when an incursion happens so you can reduce the risks. I ran a credit card portfolio and had a hard time sleeping as we were not the biggest nor did we have the resources to respond to highly sophisticated breeches. I was glad when we sold the portfolio at a good price. Well written book!
