| cybersecurity the beginner's guide: Cyber Security Noah Zhang, 2019-10-07 Cyber Security Is Here To StayDo you often wonder how cyber security applies to your everyday life, what's at risk, and how can you specifically lock down your devices and digital trails to ensure you are not Hacked?Do you own a business and are finally becoming aware of how dangerous the cyber threats are to your assets? Would you like to know how to quickly create a cyber security plan for your business, without all of the technical jargon?Are you interested in pursuing a career in cyber security? Did you know that the average starting ENTRY salary of a cyber security professional ranges from $65,000 to $80,000 and jumps to multiple figures in a few years, depending on how far you want to go?Here is an interesting statistic, you are probably already compromised. Yes, at some point, one of your digital devices or activities has been hacked and your information has been sold to the underground market. If you knew how bad the threats really are online, you would never go online again or you would do everything possible to secure your networks and devices, especially at home....and we're not talking about the ads that suddenly pop up and follow you around everywhere because you were looking at sunglasses for sale on Google or Amazon, those are re-targeting ads and they are totally legal and legitimate...We're talking about very evil malware that hides deep in your device(s) watching everything you do and type, just as one example among many hundreds of threat vectors out there.Why is This Happening Now?Our society has become saturated with internet-connected devices and trackers everywhere. From home routers to your mobile phones, most people AND businesses are easily hacked if targeted. But it gets even deeper than this; technology has advanced now to where most hacks are automated by emerging A.I., by software. Global hackers have vast networks and computers set up to conduct non-stop scans, pings and probes for weaknesses in millions of IP addresses and network domains, such as businesses and residential home routers.Check your router log and you'll see it yourself. Now most devices have firewalls but still, that is what's called an persistent threat that is here to stay, it's growing and we all need to be aware of how to protect ourselves starting today.In this introductory book, we will cover verified steps and tactics on how to increase the level of Cyber security in an organization and as an individual. It sheds light on the potential weak points which are used as infiltration points and gives examples of these breaches. We will also talk about cybercrime in a technologically-dependent world ..(Think IoT)Cyber security has come a long way from the days that hacks could only be perpetrated by a handful of individuals, and they were mostly done on the larger firms or government databases. Now, everyone with a mobile device, home system, car infotainment, or any other computing device is a point of weakness for malware or concerted attacks from hackers, real or automated.We have adopted anti-viruses and several firewalls to help prevent these issues to the point we have become oblivious to the majority of the attacks. The assistance of malware blocking tools allows our computing devices to fight thousands of attacks per day. Interestingly, cybercrime is a very lucrative industry, as has been proven by the constant investment by criminals on public information. It would be wise to pay at least half as much attention to your security.What are you waiting for, scroll to the top and click the Buy Now button to get started instantly! |

| cybersecurity the beginner's guide: Cybersecurity Elijah Lewis, 2020-01-11 There is no shortage of books on cyber security. They have been flooding the online markets and book stores for years. Each book claims to have touched upon all the topics pertaining to cybersecurity. They make tall claims that their book is the best and the only one that has the keys to the treasures of knowledge on cyber security, but, to tell the truth, they literally fail to impress well-trained readers who expect more. Many cram their book with redundant topics and superficial things without quoting examples from real life. A good book should be packed with different issues related to cyber security, the countermeasures that must be practical, and some real life examples, such as incidents that made the world news.This book is different from other books on cyber security because of the fact that it has been written in a coherent form and it contains the topics that must be included in the skillset of a cybersecurity expert. I did my level best to make this book a coherent whole so that nothing crucial to this topic remained out of bounds. Let's take a look at an overview of what this book covers up.

| cybersecurity the beginner's guide: Cyber Security Brian Walker, 2019-06-20 We live in a world where the kind of connections you have can make a big difference in your life. These connections are not just about personal and professional relationships, but also about networks. Computer networks must share connections to enable us access to useful information we need online. While these connections help us create a bustling life online, they have also become a cause for worry and concern, hence the need to understand cyber security. In this book, you will learn about the fundamental concepts of cyber security. These are facts that form the foundation of your knowledge in cyber security. The knowledge you gain from this book will help you understand the need to enhance your security online. From office devices to your personal devices at home, you must be keen on securing your networks all the time. We use real life examples to show you how bad a security breach can be. Companies have suffered millions of dollars in damages in the past. Some of these examples are so recent that they may still be fresh in your mind. They help you reexamine your interactions online and question whether you should provide the information that a given website requests. These simple decisions can prevent a lot of damage in the long run. In cyber security today, policy is of the utmost importance. You must understand the policies that guide your interaction with different individuals and entities, especially concerning data security and sharing. This book introduces you to the GDPR policies that were passed in the EU as a guideline for how different entities interact with and handle data they hold in their databases. More importantly, you will also learn how to protect yourself in the event of an attack. Some attacks are multilayered, such that the way you respond to it might create a bigger problem or prevent one. By the end of this book, it is our hope that you will be more vigilant and protective of your devices and networks and be more aware of your networking environment. |

| cybersecurity the beginner's guide: The Practice of Network Security Monitoring Richard Bejtlich, 2013-07-15 Network security is not simply about building impenetrable walls—determined attackers will eventually overcome traditional defenses. The most effective computer security strategies integrate network security monitoring (NSM): the collection and analysis of data to help you detect and respond to intrusions. In The Practice of Network Security Monitoring, Mandiant CSO Richard Bejtlich shows you how to use NSM to add a robust layer of protection around your networks—no prior experience required. To help you avoid costly and inflexible solutions, he teaches you how to deploy, build, and run an NSM operation using open source software and vendor-neutral tools. You'll learn how to: –Determine where to deploy NSM platforms, and size them for the monitored networks –Deploy stand-alone or distributed NSM installations –Use command line and graphical packet analysis tools, and NSM consoles –Interpret network evidence from server-side and client-side intrusions –Integrate threat intelligence into NSM software to identify sophisticated adversaries There’s no foolproof way to keep attackers out of your network. But when they get in, you’ll be prepared. The Practice of Network Security Monitoring will show you how to build a security net to detect, contain, and control them. Attacks are inevitable, but losing sensitive data shouldn't be. |
