Synopsis

Cybersecurity is broken when we cannot speak the same language.

Common Language in Cybersecurity Science is the first volume in the Cybersecurity Science Canon – Introductory Series, a seven-book foundation that transforms cybersecurity into a structured, testable discipline. This book establishes the universal vocabulary professionals need to move beyond jargon, silos, and subjective interpretation—building the semantic backbone for a true science of cybersecurity.

Inside This Book, You Will Learn:
  • Why cybersecurity has remained fragmented and inconsistent without a shared vocabulary.

  • How to build fluency in the scientific language of security that bridges analysts, auditors, engineers, and decision-makers.

  • How common language enables precise measurement, clearer risk communication, and repeatable reasoning.

  • Case studies where the lack of shared terms led to failure—and where scientific vocabulary changed outcomes.

  • How the Cybersecurity Science Maturity Model (CS²M²) measures progress from ad hoc talk to machine-readable ontologies.

Who Should Read This Book

This volume is designed for:

  • Students and early-career professionals building a foundation in cybersecurity.

  • Career changers and cross-discipline staff (policy, IT, audit, compliance) needing fluency to engage with technical teams.

  • Analysts and investigators who must express findings in precise, testable terms.

Why It Matters

Without a common language, cybersecurity decisions collapse into guesswork, duplication, and blind spots. With one, organizations gain clarity, interoperability, and resilience—paving the way for measurable, evidence-based security that adapts to evolving adversaries.

Common Language in Cybersecurity Science provides the essential starting point for anyone serious about treating cybersecurity as a science.
