Review
“When I started reading the Cybersecurity Architect’s Handbook, I thought I would learn a few basic facts about roles and responsibilities. Little did I know that I would be reading one of the most comprehensive guides on becoming a great cybersecurity practitioner. CSA introduces the reader to cybersecurity foundations and then covers governance, stepping stones toward becoming a CSA, and strategies for adapting a security program to ever-changing business goals. My expectations were exceeded when I discovered that this handbook even includes several practical hands-on labs that guide readers through implementing access controls, setting up and configuring a firewall, and applying encryption for data at rest and in transit.
The Cybersecurity Architect’s Handbook is a must-read for anyone aspiring to be an effective cybersecurity professional.”
