  1. Detection as Code: The Architecture Blueprint
    Detection as Code: The Architecture Blueprint
    Architecting the Automated Defensive Lifecycle for the Modern Enterprise
    Tridib Mondal

    Stop clicking. Start engineering. In a world of cloud-native infrastructure and rapidly evolving threats, security shouldn't be a "configuration task" hidden inside a vendor’s UI. It should be first-class software. Detection-as-Code: The Architecture Blueprint is the definitive guide to removing the "Save" button from your security consoles and replacing it with a high-velocity, version-controlled, and AI-augmented defensive pipeline.

  2. Someone Else's Debt
    Someone Else's Debt
    A Quantitative Framework for Cyber Diligence at Deal Speed
    Yolonda Smith

    Cyber risk in M&A gets treated as a compliance check, a heat-map of red and yellow boxes, or a problem to deal with after close. By then it is too late.Quantitative Cyber Diligence (QCD) replaces qualitative cyber diligence with a five-pillar framework that produces a single dollar-denominated figure the investment committee can argue about — calibrated, defensible, and reproducible. Each pillar maps to a measurable exposure: external attack surface, vendor concentration, data sensitivity, security program maturity, and integration risk. The framework aggregates per-pillar exposures with explicit correlation discount, surfaces tail-driver scenarios that conventional analysis misses, and translates the aggregate figure into deal-architecture recommendations: reps and warranties, escrow, price adjustment, or walk-away.This book documents how QCD engagements actually run. Two worked examples (healthcare-IT and industrial-IT). Practitioner templates. Per-pillar pseudocode. Industry loss benchmarks. The complete framework, calibrated to the post-Change-Healthcare era.

  4. Spring Security 7 From Internals to Production

    Spring Security 7 from the inside out. Trace requests through the filter chain, build a custom identity provider with Spring Authorization Server, secure reactive WebFlux services, and ship production hardened systems backed by JWT, OAuth2, OIDC, SAML2, WebAuthn, and zero trust microservice patterns. Built around CineTrack on Spring Boot 4 and Java 21. Written for engineers who already ship Spring Boot in production.

  5. Securing ServiceNow
    Securing ServiceNow
    A CISO's Field Guide
    Rachid Harrando

    The CISO's field guide to hardening ServiceNow, defending its APIs, and meeting NIS2, DORA, and EU AI Act obligations. Written by a former Principal Security Advisor in ServiceNow's Office of the CISO.

  6. Someone Else's Breach
    Someone Else's Breach
    A Practioner's Guide to Third-Party Incident Response
    Yolonda Smith

    You've got forty vendors, a hundred integrations, and a SOC 2 report that tells you exactly nothing about what happens when one of them gets compromised. Your dependency map lives in someone's head. Your exposure estimate is a shrug. Your decision process is whoever talks loudest in the emergency meeting. And when it's over, every lesson learned evaporates before the next incident hits. Someone Else's Breach is the framework that replaces all of it — a quantitative, repeatable system for knowing what you're exposed to, deciding what to do about it, and getting better every time. From proactive resilience design to AI-augmented detection, this is the practitioner's guide to surviving incidents you didn't cause but can't ignore.

  12. Cracking the Security Engineer Interview: 101 Interview Questions and Answers

    The security engineer interview is a high-stakes gauntlet demanding expertise from cryptography to cloud architecture. Stop drowning in 1,000-page encyclopedias and start mastering the curated, high-impact frameworks you actually need. This guide bridges the gap between deep technical flaws and broad business risks to get you interview-ready—fast.

  13. Building IT Policy Programs for Higher Education

    Most universities have IT policies. Few have a formal strategy behind them. This guide draws on annual research across 400+ colleges and universities to show higher education leaders where the sector's policy gaps are, how the unique dynamics of academic culture shape security programs differently than corporate or government environments, and how to close those gaps systematically.

  14. Visual Guide to Secure Boot

    Secure boot is what separates a trusted device from a compromised one — but the chain of trust from hardware fuses to a verified OS is rarely explained clearly. This illustrated guide walks you through every layer: root of trust, key provisioning, bootloader handoffs, certificate chains, and real-world attack vectors. 8 chapters, all visual, zero fluff.

  15. CAS Internals: A Journey Through the Central Authentication Server Codebase

    Across 30 chapters, you'll trace real code paths through nearly 400 CAS modules, learning the architecture decisions, design patterns, and implementation techniques that hold this massive system together. Whether you're a CAS contributor trying to fix a tricky bug, an architect evaluating CAS for your organization, or a Java developer who wants to study a mature, real-world Spring Boot application at scale — this book gives you the map. Written by a long-time CAS committer who has been involved since the original CAS 3.0 architecture, this book distills years of hard-won knowledge into a single, code-level reference.
