Overview: This comprehensive introduction to the information security field covers the industry’s essential concepts, using real-world security breaches to illustrate key lessons. Cybersecurity is a huge field, and breaking in can feel overwhelming. Where do you start when the territory spans everything from cryptography to cloud security to social engineering? In Foundations of Cybersecurity, you’ll learn how security professionals actually think about protecting systems. You’ll start with core principles like authentication, authorization, and access control, then build outward into network defense, operating system hardening, application security, and security operations. Each chapter introduces concepts in context, showing how they connect to real decisions you’ll face on the job. Hands-on projects throughout will have you apply what you’ve learned, from classifying real threat actors to designing detection rules to building a security awareness program. This book will be a valuable resource for beginning security professionals and for network and system administrators. You should use the information provided to develop a better understanding of how to protect your information assets and defend against attacks, as well as how to apply these concepts systematically to make your environment more secure. Those in management positions will also find this information useful because it should help you develop better overall security practices for your organization. The concepts discussed in this book can be used to drive security projects and policies and mitigate some of the issues discussed.
