Synopsis

Based on news reports, you might think there's a major cybersecurity threat every four to five months. In reality, there's a cybersecurity attack happening every minute of every day.

Today, we live our lives—and conduct our business—online. Our data is in the cloud and in our pockets on our smartphones, shuttled over public Wi-Fi and company networks. To keep it safe, we rely on passwords and encryption and private servers, IT departments and best practices. But as you read this, there is a 70 percent chance that your data is compromised . . . you just don't know it yet.

In Cyber Crisis, Eric Cole gives listeners a clear-eyed picture of the information war raging in cyberspace. Drawing on thirty years of experience, Cole offers practical, actionable advice that even those with little technical background can implement, including steps to take on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to protect their businesses and themselves.

No matter who you are or where you work, cybersecurity should be a top priority. The information infrastructure we rely on in every sector of our lives is both critical and vulnerable, and sooner or later, you or your company will be a target.

Goodreads review by Abraham

Rating: 3.5; Engaging enough. I gotta confess that I didn't read the book but listened to the audiobook. The content is more or less like a TedTalk. It mostly focuses on the points to consider on cyber security for a business or startup, with passable content on individual or personal security. Apart......more
