About the Book
The Australian Cyber Security Handbook is intended to fill a void in the existing literature by being the only general textbook written specifically from an Australian context. The work represents years of accumulated research followed by many months of drafting, revision, editing and further revision to present, in a single volume, a comprehensive guide to the cyber security context, threat landscape, protective measures, professional practice and the Australian cyber security industry.
All chapters are liberally sprinkled with local examples & case studies, local statistics, references to the Australian legal framework, and solutions that meet sovereign risk.
It is anticipated that The Australian Cyber Security Handbook will provide a single text suitable for use in courses across both vocational and higher education sectors, as well as an invaluable daily "go to" for Australian cyber security practitioners.
