Cybersecurity is an extremely important area which is rapidly
evolving, necessarily, to meet current and future threats. Anyone
who studies within this domain requires a particular skillset and
way of thinking, balancing technical knowledge and human insight.
It is vital to recognize both sides of this complex area and
integrate the two. This book looks at the technical fields
progressively, building up in layers before expanding into more
advanced topics. Each area is looked at succinctly, describing the
main elements and problems in each area and reinforcing these
concepts with practical coding examples, questions and ideas for
further research. The book builds on an overview of basic
architecture of systems and networks, setting a context for how
information is vulnerable. Cryptography is explained in detail with
examples, showing the steady progress in this area over time
through to the possibilities of quantum encryption. Steganography
is also explained, showing how this can be used in a modern-day
context through multimedia and even Virtual Reality. A large
section of the book is given to the technical side of hacking, how
such attacks occur, how they can be avoided and what to do after
there has been an intrusion of some description. Cyber
countermeasures are explored, along with automated systems of
defense, whether created by the programmer or through firewalls and
suchlike. The human aspect of cyber security is detailed along with
the psychology and motivations for launching attacks. Social
engineering is focused on and with the various techniques looked at
- revealing how an informed individual, organization or workplace
can protect themselves against incursions and breaches. Finally,
there is a look the latest developments in the field, and how
systems, such as the IoT are being protected. The book is intended
for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on
cybersecurity but is also useful for those studying IT or Computer
Science more generally.
