The Art of Cyber Security: A practical guide to winning the war on cyber crime (Hardback or Cased Book)

The Art of Cyber Security - A practical guide to winning the war on cyber crime

This book is about cyber security, but it's also about so much more; it's about giving you the skills to think creatively about your role in the cyber security industry.

In Part 1, the author discusses his thoughts on the cyber security industry and how those that operate within it should approach their role with the mindset of an artist.

Part 2 explores the work of Sun Tzu's The Art of War. The author analyses key sections and reviews them through the lens of cyber security and data protection to derive how his teachings can be used within the cyber security industry. Although Tzu's book on military strategy, tactics and operations was written more than 2,000 years ago, The Art of Cyber Security - A practical guide to winning the war on cyber crime reflects on how relevant Tzu's words are for today's technological era.
