CYBERSECURITY: THE ESSENTIAL BODY OF KNOWLEDGE provides a comprehensive, trustworthy framework of practices for assuring information security. This book is organized to help readers understand how the various roles and functions within cybersecurity practice can be combined and leveraged to produce a secure organization. In this unique book, concepts are not presented as stagnant theory; instead, the content is interwoven in a real world adventure story that runs throughout. In the story, a fictional company experiences numerous pitfalls of cyber security and the reader is immersed in the everyday practice of securing the company through various characters' efforts. This approach grabs learners' attention and assists them in visualizing the application of the content to real-world issues that they will face in their professional life. Derived from the Department of Homeland Security's Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK) for IT Security, this book is an indispensable resource dedicated to understanding the framework, roles, and competencies involved with information security.

Free Cybersecurity: The Essential Body Of Knowledge
Bought this book because it was the assigned text for a graduate class. It was easy to read. Explained the role of EBK n IA in a coear and concise manner. I would recommend thi book as a resource to anyone who wants to learn more about EBK or IA fameworks.

I have little to say other than that--as a contribution to the field--the book constitutes more technically lightweight nonsense, but Amazon demands twenty words of me.
I assign two stars because the author has done a workmanlike job of factoring modern (if less than agile) data/security/regulatory administration roles into workable sets that somehow mirror the organization of tools and operative interfaces in modern desktop operating systems (if you can call a point-and-click interface that strongly discourages one from straying one iota from ultra-standard configuration--and that operates atop an infrastructure that, after fifteen years' worth of maturation, has yet precisely to delineate its own discretionary access control algorithm ["I can perform operation O upon container C iff rules R apply"]--an "operating system"). I apologize for the rather tortuous structure of that sentence, but torturous computer systems can lead to tortuous criticisms. But all this talk of torture is making me thirsty.
I'm back again. (That red grapefruit juice was delicious.) I should also state categorically that I find it frightening--nay, terrifying--that the lion's share of (if not all) books that purport to analyze cybersecurity and cyberwarfare and cyber* (adopting Markovian regular expression notation for the reader's convenience) have little to say of any practical value--other than ho-hum NMAP and PORTSCAN and such foolishness, scarcely more advanced than SATAN (indeed--one can argue--far _less_ advanced than SATAN), typically rudely strung together with the odd few lines of Perl or awk or what-have-you.
