Cyberdanger

This book describes the key cybercrime threats facing individuals, businesses, and organizations in our online world. I first explain malware and its origins; I describe the extensive underground economy and the various attacks that cybercriminals have developed, including malware, spam, and hacking; I also offer constructive advice on countermeasures for individuals and organizations; and I discuss the related topics of cyberespionage, cyberwarfare, hacktivism, and anti-malware organizations, and appropriate roles for the state and the media.

I have worked in the security industry for decades, and I bring a wealth of experience and expertise. In particular I offer insights about the human factor, the people involved on both sides and their styles and motivations. I try to write in an accessible, often humorous way about real-world cases in industry, and my collaborations with police and government agencies worldwide, and the text features interviews with leading industry experts.

The book is important reading for all professionals engaged with securing information, people, and enterprises. It’s also a valuable introduction for the general reader who wants to learn about cybersecurity.
