Practical Cybersecurity: A Fat-Free Guide to Network Security Best Practices (Fat-Free Technology Guides)

Covers over 250 cybersecurity best practices. Cybercrime is one of the greatest threats to humanity to emerge since the cold war. No individual or organization is immune to malicious threats, and the risk increases every day. In the blink of an eye, cybercrime can ruin the prosperity of an individual or an entire organization. There currently is no way to guarantee safety with 100% certainty, because the risks are constantly evolving. However, with the right practices, policies, and products in place you can reduce the likelihood of being compromised down to a statistical anomaly.

Practical Cybersecurity is a comprehensive “Fat-Free” guide for people who want to learn how to secure their technology assets, and optionally obtain CompTIA Security+ certification. In this guide, you will learn simple actionable steps that the average system administrator can take to build more secure networks.

Your typical cybersecurity book will tell you why it’s important to secure your network, but many fail to clearly and concisely explain how to actually go about it. Practical Cybersecurity is different because you will learn both the "why" and the "how" in one easy to follow book. Each subject is demonstrated with real world scenarios and includes configuration examples that demystify the topic.
