Good details but with heavy bias

Great book with lots of details explained at the the beginner level. The second part of the book is heavy with best described as “anti-establishment bias”. However, still worth listening too despite the writers rants on government and business. Helpful websites mentioned and explained complex concepts at a laymen level.

Kool.

My third book on cybersecurity, but this is by far the most useful. Definitely worth the time.

Decent

The book goes over a lot of concepts. It’s a good intro, but just an intro nonetheless. Don’t go in with unrealistic expectations and you’ll be fine.

Great listen and fascinating info.

I finished listening to Kevin Mitnick's "The Art of Invisibility" and wanted to learn more. This book was a great collection of various topics, and I really enjoyed learning more ways to keep things secure. Definitely thought the stories about epic failures were valuable.

I would highly recommend.

Cyber Security for Beginners is a book I would highly recommend, if only to begin to understand how Cyber Security affects every person and why we need to be that little more vigilant online. I think the real bonus was the personable nature the author put across in his style of writing. He was humble, patient with his explanations and even humorous, at times.
