About this title

Synopsis

In a world, where cyber threats evolve daily, the line between hacker and hero is thinner than you think. Hacking is no longer just a shadowy underground activity—it’s an essential part of our digital world. The Future of Hacking explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and digital defense, revealing how hackers protect as much as they attack. Drawing on extensive research and expert interviews from around the world, Laura Scherling uncovers the real-world impact of cybercrime, internet freedom, and digital policy. This accessible yet deeply researched book challenges misconceptions about hacking, highlights the work of those defending our digital future, and helps readers understand why cybersecurity is now everyone’s concern. The future of hacking is here.
