"Many people think that cybersecurity is only about technology. It is not.

 

Cybersecurity is and has always been about people protecting people. However, the pressures and temptations that shape hackers, defenders, individuals and leaders in this field have not received the attention they deserve.

 

With this book, we aim to change that.

 

We condensed years of academic research and operational experience into this book. It talks about why people become hackers, security vulnerabilities due to human error, how even the smartest people can fall for social engineering attacks, how leaders can manage cyber risk, and a large dose of practical guidance and case studies.

 

This book is for anyone who is interested in the fascinating world of cybersecurity: from seasoned professionals to generally curious minds."
