Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumers' identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored.

Ever feel like you don’t even own the hardware and software you paid dearly for? Ever get the impression that you have to ask for permission before installing or changing a program on your device? Ever feel like Facebook and Instagram are listening to your conversations to show you relevant ads? You’re not alone. Half-baked products and services that chip away at your sense of ownership, independence and privacy are a part of a global wave of corporate indifference that micromanages and spies on honest, uniformed customers.

Each week it seems that some major corporation or another is having serious issues thanks to the leaks of some malicious hacker. Hearing stories like this can make it seem difficult, if not impossible for individuals and smaller organizations to ensure their own cybersecurity to keep their own information private; after all, if the big guys can’t manage, then it can be hard to see the point. This defeatist attitude is just what the criminals want. However, the truth of the matter is there is plenty you can do to improve your cybersecurity, right now.

An update to the original Simple CISSP book, Essential CISSP Exam Guide takes the entire official study guide and breaks it down into easy-to-absorb chapters with simple language. Tons of examples are included to drive the points home in a way that makes it effortless to remember.

Many cram their book with redundant topics and superficial things without quoting examples from real life.

There is no shortage of books on cybersecurity. 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 cybersecurity, but to tell the truth, they literally fail to impress well-trained readers and listeners who expect more.

Summary
This book provides an easy insight into the essentials of cybersecurity, even if you have a non-technical background. You may be a business person keen to understand this important subject area or an information security specialist looking to update your knowledge.
Companies that can use technology wisely and well are booming, companies that make bad or no technology choices collapse and disappear. The cloud, smart devices and the ability to connect almost any object to the internet are an essential landscape to use but are also fraught with new risks and dangers of a magnitude never seen before. Also featuring an alphabetical section at the back of the book to help you translate many of the main cybersecurity technical terms into plain, non-technical English.

A good thorough grounding in cyber security principles
I thought this was a good book on the principles of cyber security. Aimed more at a commercial or corporate clientele trying to come to terms with basic cyber security. I felt as an individual it was still a good book to gain a thorough basic knowledge. Terms were not too technical while still understandable to someone fairly conversant with the digital world. Would recommend.

Not for IT ppl moving into security
This book is definitely aimed at the business professional. It's pretty much just a glossary of tech terms in narrative form. I would have liked it more if all the tech terms came with a explanation of practical use or real world example of how the glossary terms are used.
