    A practical guide to cyber threat intelligence, from raw indicators to strategic decisions. Learn the intelligence lifecycle, MITRE ATT&CK, STIX/TAXII/MISP, and intelligence-driven threat hunting, all traced through one real phishing campaign from first alert to CISO briefing.

  3. Vulnerability Management
    Vulnerability Management
    SouthStone Publications

    Tens of thousands of vulnerabilities. A handful that actually matter. This book shows you how to build a risk-based vulnerability management program, from asset discovery and scanning to CVSS/EPSS/KEV prioritization, remediation workflows, cloud and container security, and zero-day response, complete with SLA matrices, scoring formulas, and a full Log4Shell case study.

  4. Malware Analysis
    Malware Analysis
    SouthStone Publications

    A practical, hands on guide that walks SOC analysts, incident responders, and aspiring reverse engineers from a suspicious file to a defensible detection, covering static, dynamic, code, and memory analysis, unpacking, YARA, and real world reporting.

  5. CSIRT Operations
