Cybersecurity w pytaniach i odpowiedziach

Wojciech Ciemski

Co o cyberbezpieczeństwie każdy wiedzieć powinien W świecie, w którym większość naszych mniej lub bardziej wrażliwych danych przechowywana jest w sieci, cyberbezpieczeństwo powinno być tematem numer jeden. Niestety, na ogół nie jest, bo… Po prostu nie chce się nam myśleć o zastosowaniu odpowiednich zabezpieczeń. Stają się one dla nas kluczowe dopiero, kiedy ktoś się cyberwłamie i realnie skradnie coś, co było dla nas istotne: hasło do poczty e-mail, pieniądze z konta w banku, zdjęcia, które wolelibyśmy zachować dla siebie, itd. Tyle że wtedy jest już za późno.  Ta książka powstała po to, by jej czytelnik zdążył wyprzedzić zagrożenie. Stanowi wprowadzenie do zagadnienia cyberbezpieczeństwa. Podzielona na kilka kluczowych części (systemy operacyjne, sieci komputerowe, aplikacje webowe, kryptografia, wreszcie cyberbezpieczeństwo jako takie), pozwala zapoznać się z najważniejszymi zagrożeniami i ze sposobami zabezpieczeń. Przybliża terminologię związaną z tematem i stanowi świetny punkt wyjścia do dalszego zgłębiania jego wybranych aspektów.  Cyberniebezpieczeństwo czyha. Czy jesteś na nie przygotowany?
