I've been both a security practitioner and leader for well over 16 years. Much of what I've learned over the years has been laid out well and in a pragmatic way in this book by Akash. The book looks at building security capabilities with a risk-based approach. By better understanding threat actors and tactics, one can better design their prevention, monitoring and response capabilities. This is a great resource for those new to security or moving up a level and now responsible for building preventative programs. While the book is great as a resource, it's not fully comprehensive. It does require requisite knowledge but nuggets can be taken away that are actionable for anyone. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more and responsible for keeping threat actors at bay.

I'm a security professional. Been working directly as cyber security person or have been implementing defense in depth controls for more than a dozen years now. I feel this book can be your golden ticket and guide to tackle your vulnerabilities/security issues when directly resolving the issue is difficult due to various reasons. The author has a clear understanding of security and how we can effectively apply security controls.
