What Is CyberSecurity?
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks. It encompasses offensive security (penetration testing, red teaming), defensive security (SOC, blue teaming, incident response), and governance (compliance, risk management, security architecture).
With cyberattacks increasing in frequency and sophistication, cybersecurity professionals are in higher demand than ever. Our books cover both offensive and defensive security with hands-on, practical approaches.
