Free Cyber Security Essentials
Unlike most books of this kind that can bog you down with tech speak, Cyber Sercurity Essentials provides good insight about the most relevant threats in easy to read, concise sections that can be consumed all at once, or one section at a time. For those just entering the Cyber Security arena who want an easy to read overview, or others who just want to sound like you know what you're talking about with IT, this book is perfect.
By Jean L. Mcpherson
"Cyber Security Essentials" is an intentionally introductory book written to discuss a broad array of security concepts both new and out of date. It serves one specific purpose well - it provides security novices with enough information to participate in quasi-technical discussions with other people with a similar background. It reads easily if not languorously (a characteristic example that comes to mind is a two-page discussion of how the XOR operator can be used to achieve encryption). Its descriptions are shallow and bright, never terse, wide, or deep; and most are simple enough to be understood by everyone. This book will not teach you how to construct or attack security systems, but it will prepare you to sound knowledgeable if you are asked to describe one.
The one serious drawback to this book is that it is nothing more (and often a fair bit less) than a concatenation of 70 or so Wikipedia articles. One could save $60 by glancing at the table of contents and reading the top Google result for each one. The authors of this book don't add any insight, humor, or clarity to the material. As such, this book is a bound hard copy of remedial security information freely available and easily found online.
