Kim Peter. Cybersecurity Illustrated: Just the Essentials (in just 2 hours)

Amazon Digital Services LLC, 2016. — 100 p. — ASIN: B01MTZY6U2.This book is for IT security professionals who have tried to use ISO 27002 and NIST SP 800-53, or compliance standards to start an IT security program but found them too generic and abstract to get started.
This book fills the gap between abstract standards and specialized materials that detail security measures specific to malware, hackers, Unix boxes, Windows boxes, firewalls, web applications, and others.
The book provides examples to help you understand security issues that may apply to your organization. This book presents security measures in context so you can apply security measures in the right place for the right purpose.
An understanding of IT security will ease your understanding of compliance standards in the IT context because they - in a nutshell - require the implementation of IT security measures to safeguard particular kinds of data. Therefore, IT security is covered first and compliance second.
Many books and Internet resources detail specific IT security measures. This book does not replicate those materials. This book's goal is to help you build enough of an understanding of IT security so you can identify the security needs of your organization and know what specialized information you should pursue further.
