A practical reference for securing real-world OT, ICS and SCADA environments.Roadmap for engineers, CISOs, and consultants to master industrial cybersecurity. Learn to secure ICS, SCADA, and Industry 4.0 environments, apply IEC 62443 & NIS 2, and build robust defense-in-depth architectures—from real-world attack analysis to practical incident response.
A Technical Engineering Reference on Decentralized, Resilient, and Autonomous Mesh Communication InfrastructureWhat happens when a network can no longer depend on centralized infrastructure?Engineering Sovereign Dark Mesh Networks examines the architecture, protocols, cryptographic foundations, routing systems, hardware and resilience strategies behind decentralized communication networks designed to operate across unreliable, disconnected, and infrastructure-constrained environments.
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem. Modern Information Security connects the principles, architecture, operations and strategy behind effective security programs. From identity and cloud security to incident response, governance and emerging threats, it offers practical guidance for building security that works in the real world.
Understand the threats. Learn the defenses. Build a stronger foundation in Network Security.Modern organizations depend on computer networks for communication, business operations, cloud services, applications, and data exchange. With this growing connectivity comes an equally important challenge: protecting networks from unauthorized access, attacks, vulnerabilities, and security incidents.Network Security: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners and Advanced Learners provides a structured learning journey for students and aspiring security professionals who want to understand how modern networks are protected.The book begins with the fundamentals of networking and network security, covering network topologies, OSI and TCP/IP models, network devices, IP addressing, subnetting, protocols, and ports. It then moves into common cyber threats and vulnerabilities, including malware, phishing, social engineering, DoS and DDoS attacks, Man-in-the-Middle attacks, weak authentication, and software vulnerabilities.Readers will learn important security principles such as the CIA Triad, AAA, Defense-in-Depth, Least Privilege, and Risk Management, followed by an introduction to cryptography, encryption, digital signatures, certificates, TLS, IPsec, and PKI.The book also explores firewalls, IDS, IPS, SIEM, VPNs, wireless security, Network Access Control, web application security, HTTPS, secure development practices, incident response, digital forensics concepts, disaster recovery, and business continuity.The final chapters look toward the future, introducing Zero Trust, Next-Generation Firewalls, AI and Machine Learning in cybersecurity, Cloud Security, and IoT Security.For students, the book provides a strong academic foundation. For aspiring professionals, it introduces important technologies, responsibilities, career paths, and security practices.The goal is not simply to learn how attacks occur, but to understand how responsible security professionals identify risks, protect systems, respond to incidents, and continuously improve security.Learn the fundamentals. Understand the risks. Think like a security professional.
This book is all about testing and closing the gap between infrastructure health and output quality, and how easily that gap can be filled for weeks by a failure that's gone unnoticed.This book looks at the less obvious side of the problem. In the next few chapters, we're going to run 41 experiments on one application. About half of them will give you a result that the system doesn't report. It's not a dig at anyone's engineering, since the systems in question are competently built and mostly behave well.
A hacked WordPress site can look perfectly normal. Follow real investigations across files, databases, hidden users, cron jobs, hosting, DNS, checkout pages, and blacklists—and learn how to find the full compromise, remove it safely, and stop it from coming back.
Cybersecurity is much more than hacking, as it is often portrayed in movies. At its core, cybersecurity is about protecting people, businesses, governments, and communities from digital threats. Throughout this book, you'll discover how computers communicate, how networks function, how attackers identify vulnerabilities, and how security professionals defend systems against those attacks.
AI coding agents can build, run and break things at machine speed. This book shows you how to contain them safely. From Linux isolation and microVMs to WebAssembly, threat modeling and incident response, you’ll learn how to design production-grade sandboxes that let autonomous agents execute code without putting your systems at risk.
Cyberattacks rarely happen in isolation. From compromised software supply chains and stolen credentials to deep cloud intrusions, this book takes you inside the techniques, tools and methods used by modern adversaries. Through hands-on labs, real-world attack scenarios and practical detection strategies, it shows security professionals how these attacks work and how to stop them.
Cloud security is built, not bought. This practical guide goes beyond checklists and compliance to teach the engineering principles behind secure cloud environments. Learn how to design resilient identity systems, protect workloads, secure data, detect threats, and respond to incidents across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud using production-tested techniques and real-world architectures.
Security engineering is about building systems that stay secure when things go wrong. This book covers the fundamentals of secure applications, infrastructure and operations through practical examples, real breaches and proven security practices.
