Cybersecurity: Key Principles

Since the 1970s, InfoSec professionals have gradually improved security, often without considering whether they are moving in the right direction from a strategic standpoint. Rick Howard argues that they are not. The overall direction has been wrong, but thought leaders in this field have not been able to get to the root of the problem. Following in the footsteps of authorities like Descartes and Elon Musk, the author justifies the key principle of cybersecurity and defines strategies and tactics for its implementation.

The book on updated strategies and tactics explains:
- why an approach based on updated principles is necessary
- five new strategies: zero trust, phased cyberattack prevention, resilience, automation, and risk forecasting
- practical techniques for implementing each strategy
