商品描述

Discover the most prevalent cyber threats against individual users of all kinds of computing devices. This book teaches you the defensive best practices and state-of-the-art tools available to you to repel each kind of threat.

 

Personal Cybersecurity addresses the needs of individual users at work and at home. This book covers personal cybersecurity for all modes of personal computing whether on consumer-acquired or company-issued devices: desktop PCs, laptops, mobile devices, smart TVs, WiFi and Bluetooth peripherals, and IoT objects embedded with network-connected sensors. In all these modes, the frequency, intensity, and sophistication of cyberattacks that put individual users at risk are increasing in step with accelerating mutation rates of malware and cybercriminal delivery systems.

 

Traditional anti-virus software and personal firewalls no longer suffice to guarantee personal security. Users who neglect to learn and adopt the new ways of protecting themselves in their work and private environments put themselves, their associates, and their companies at risk of inconvenience, violation, reputational damage, data corruption, data theft, system degradation, system destruction, financial harm, and criminal disaster. This book shows what actions to take to limit the harm and recover from the damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead of laying down a code of "thou shalt not" rules that admit of too many exceptions and contingencies to be of much practical use, cloud expert Marvin Waschke equips you with the battlefield intelligence, strategic understanding, survival training, and proven tools you need to intelligently assess the security threats in your environment and most effectively secure yourself from attacks. Through instructive examples and scenarios, the author shows you how to adapt and apply best practices to your own particular circumstances, how to automate and routinize your personal cybersecurity, how to recognize security breaches and act swiftly to seal them, and how to recover losses and restore functionality when attacks succeed.

 

What You'll Learn

 

 

 

  • Discover how computer security works and what it can protect us from
  • See how a typical hacker attack works
  • Evaluate computer security threats to the individual user and corporate systems
  • Identify the critical vulnerabilities of a computer connected to the Internet
  • Manage your computer to reduce vulnerabilities to yourself and your employer
  • Discover how the adoption of newer forms of biometric authentication affects you
  • Stop your router and other online devices from being co-opted into disruptive denial of service attacks
Who This Book Is For
Proficient and technically knowledgeable computer users who are anxious about cybercrime and want to understand the technology behind both attack and defense but do not want to go so far as to become security experts. Some of this audience will be purely home users, but many will be executives, technical managers, developers, and members of IT departments who need to adopt personal practices for their own safety and the protection of corporate systems. Many will want to impart good cybersecurity practices to their colleagues. IT departments tasked with indoctrinating their users with good safety practices may use the book as training material.

 

 

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

發現針對各種計算設備的個人使用者最常見的網路威脅。本書教導您防禦最佳實踐和最先進的工具,以抵禦各種威脅。

《個人網路安全》針對工作和家庭中的個人使用者的需求。本書涵蓋了所有個人計算模式的網路安全,無論是在消費者購買的設備還是公司提供的設備上:桌上型電腦、筆記型電腦、移動設備、智慧電視、WiFi和藍牙外設以及嵌入有連網感應器的物聯網物件。在所有這些模式中,個人使用者面臨的網路攻擊頻率、強度和複雜性與惡意軟體和網路犯罪分發系統的變異速率同步增加。

傳統的防毒軟體和個人防火牆已不足以保證個人安全。忽視在工作和私人環境中學習和採用新的保護方式的使用者,將使自己、合作夥伴和公司面臨不便、違規、聲譽損害、資料損壞、資料竊取、系統退化、系統破壞、財務損失和犯罪災難的風險。本書展示了限制損害和從損害中恢復的行動。

與其制定過多例外和條件以致實際用途不大的「不可犯規」規則,雲端專家Marvin Waschke提供了您在環境中智能評估安全威脅並最有效地保護自己免受攻擊所需的戰場情報、戰略理解、生存訓練和驗證工具。通過實例和情境的指導,作者向您展示如何根據自己的特定情況適應和應用最佳實踐,如何自動化和例行化個人網路安全,如何識別安全漏洞並迅速封堵,以及如何在攻擊成功時恢復損失和恢復功能。

《你將學到什麼》

- 了解電腦安全的運作方式以及它能保護我們免受什麼威脅
- 瞭解典型的駭客攻擊方式
- 評估個人使用者和企業系統的網路安全威脅
- 確定連接到網際網路的電腦的關鍵弱點
- 管理您的電腦,減少對自己和雇主的風險
- 瞭解採用新型生物識別驗證形式對您的影響
- 阻止路由器和其他網路設備被用於破壞性的阻斷服務攻擊

《本書適合對象》

熟練且具有技術知識的電腦使用者,對網路犯罪感到擔憂,並希望了解攻擊和防禦背後的技術,但不想成為安全專家。其中一部分讀者可能僅為家庭使用者,但許多讀者將是高管、技術經理、開發人員和IT部門成員,他們需要為自己的安全和保護企業系統採取個人實踐。許多人希望向同事傳授良好的網路安全實踐。負責向使用者灌輸良好安全實踐的IT部門可以將本書用作培訓材料。
