I am always amazed to see what others are saying about the Cybersecurity Architect's Handbook and where the book can potentially be improved in future editions. The fact that Corey J. Ball has provided a review of the book is very humbling.
If you do not know who Corey J. Ball is, you should! Corey wrote one of, if not the de-facto, book on Hacking API's. The book, aptly named Hacking API's by No Starch Press is a must read for anyone wanting to understand APIs and how to secure them. It is one of the many books in my recommended reading list. If you are not already following Corey, do so now... you can follow him on Amazon.com through his Author's Profile or LinkedIn.
So what did Corey say about the Cybersecurity Architect's Handbook?
“When I started reading the Cybersecurity Architect’s Handbook, I thought I would learn a few basic facts about roles and responsibilities. Little did I know that I would be reading one of the most comprehensive guides on becoming a great cybersecurity practitioner. CSA introduces the reader to cybersecurity foundations and then covers governance, stepping stones toward becoming a CSA, and strategies for adapting a security program to ever-changing business goals. My expectations were exceeded when I discovered that this handbook even includes several practical hands-on labs that guide readers through implementing access controls, setting up and configuring a firewall, and applying encryption for data at rest and in transit.
The Cybersecurity Architect’s Handbook is a must-read for anyone aspiring to be an effective cybersecurity professional.”
This is a powerful compliment and review from a recognized expert in the cybersecurity field. Do not get your copy because I said you should, do it because another expert in the field is recommending it and is calling it a "must read".
