This book offers very good overview of anything concerning cyber security, it gives you the basics. In the beginningof the book it is also peppered with some reasonable background stories that help even beginners to understand. The latter chapters are, in my opinion, lacking this quality and depth. In other words, the first part that is describing online security threats is very informative, the second part that is trying to give advice on how to be more secure on the internet is lacking depth and practicaal examples. Also the chapter about training and awarness is very theoretical. As this book is called practical guide I would welcome training programe proposal, examples of engaging excersices etc. Would be very helpful. In general, worth spending time on, but the next edition could be better :)

Really clear overview of all aspects of Cyber security for companies and anyone working in computing.
A book that can be used as a reference too.
