What yet-to-be-written security book would you like to see on your shelves?
Looking at my library of security books. What yet-to-be-written book would you like to see on your shelves?
- evo_9 15y agoHow to Secure Your Life. It would cover everything from your physical wallet to your smartphone to public networks to your home network. End-to-end best practices for securing your life.
- adg001 15y agoAm I secure? At the strategic level, this is among the most important questions to be answered by each of us. A tactical guide to reach confidence in processes to which we entrust our businesses can certainly help people to improve their security posture. I like the idea. Thanks.
- pasbesoin 15y agoI was just thinking of a well-written "Security for Dummies". (Some books in the Dummies series are well written.) Along with the premise that a significant fraction of the public would read it and become reasonably informed at least in layman's terms. Perhaps that -- they -- in turn would effectively influence public knowledge and reporting as well as government and business policy and practice.
- sixtofour 15y agoA list of types of threats, organized by target area, summarizing: - each threat - its basic mechanism - basic effective defenses - common ineffective defenses - tradeoffs between more effective and less effective defenses - possible stopgaps until you can use an effective defense - where to start to learn more about each. Sort of a Zagat's of security. I would also like to see evo_9's How to Secure Your Life, described in his comment.
- adg001 15y agoA Zagat's of security. The ThreatBook. A quick reference guide to the threats we might end up to be vulnerable and the applicable defenses in review. There's much to be written here. Thanks.
- sixtofour 15y agoAnd you might support the book (in both senses of the word "support") with a web site.
