Mastering cybersecuritystrategies, technologies, and best practices /[electronic resource] :by Dr. Jason Edwards. - Berkeley, CA :Apress :2024. - xxv, 776 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Threat Landscape -- Chapter 2: Types of Cyber Attacks -- Chapter 3: Social Engineering -- Chapter 4: Cryptography -- Chapter 5: Network Security -- Chapter 6: Web Application Security -- Chapter 7: Mobile Security -- Chapter 8: Cloud Security -- Chapter 9: IoT Security -- Chapter 10: Digital Forensics -- Chapter 11: Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing -- Chapter 12: Security Policies and Procedures -- Chapter 13: Data Privacy and Protection -- Chapter 14: Insider Threats.

The modern digital landscape presents many threats and opportunities, necessitating a robust understanding of cybersecurity. This book offers readers a broad-spectrum view of cybersecurity, providing insights from fundamental concepts to advanced technologies. Beginning with the foundational understanding of the ever-evolving threat landscape, the book methodically introduces many cyber threats. From familiar challenges like malware and phishing to more sophisticated attacks targeting IoT and blockchain, readers will gain a robust comprehension of the attack vectors threatening our digital world. Understanding threats is just the start. The book also delves deep into the defensive mechanisms and strategies to counter these challenges. Readers will explore the intricate art of cryptography, the nuances of securing both mobile and web applications, and the complexities inherent in ensuring the safety of cloud environments. Through meticulously crafted case studies tailored for each chapter, readers will witness theoretical concepts' practical implications and applications. These studies, although fictional, resonate with real-world scenarios, offering a nuanced understanding of the material and facilitating its practical application. Complementing the knowledge are reinforcement activities designed to test and solidify understanding. Through multiple-choice questions, readers can gauge their grasp of each chapter's content, and actionable recommendations offer insights on how to apply this knowledge in real-world settings. Adding chapters that delve into the intersection of cutting-edge technologies like A.I. and cybersecurity ensures that readers are prepared for the present and future of digital security. This book promises a holistic, hands-on, and forward-looking education in cybersecurity, ensuring readers are both knowledgeable and action-ready. What You Will Learn: The vast array of cyber threats, laying the groundwork for understanding the significance of cybersecurity Various attack vectors, from malware and phishing to DDoS, giving readers a detailed understanding of potential threats The psychological aspect of cyber threats, revealing how humans can be manipulated into compromising security How information is encrypted and decrypted to preserve its integrity and confidentiality The techniques and technologies that safeguard data being transferred across networks Strategies and methods to protect online applications from threats How to safeguard data and devices in an increasingly mobile-first world The complexities of the complexities of cloud environments, offering tools and strategies to ensure data safety The science behind investigating and analyzing cybercrimes post-incident How to assess system vulnerabilities and how ethical hacking can identify weaknesses.
