Cybersecurity Small Book Series Published

National Cybersecurity Institute is excited to announce the publication of new Cybersecurity Small book series. These three books cover different aspects of the field of cyber security.

SMALL BUSINESS AND NONPROFITS

Cybersecurity for Small Businesses and Nonprofits is a must-read for the small business owner. Worldwide, over 40% of all cyber-attacks happen to small businesses, and nearly 60% of the businesses that have had their digital systems breached close their doors within 6 months. This book provides an overview of the current cybersecurity situation, explains cyber threats specific to small businesses, and offers suggestions that owners can utilize to protect their businesses and livelihoods from cyber criminals.

WOMEN IN CYBERSECURITY

Women in Cybersecurity provides a basic overview of the employment status of women in the cybersecurity field. While women comprise over 50% of the workforce in the U.S, less than 25% of cyber staff are women. This book offers a close look at the current status of women in the cybersecurity arena, highlights reasons for the paucity of women, and–relying both on research and personal experience–gives suggestions that will encourage women to join this technical field.

CYBERSECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection will be of particular use to those with a vested interest in the protection of critical infrastructures in the U.S. – its dams, chemical plants, emergency care facilities, energy plants, and nuclear facilities. Terrorists and rogue nation states have been relentless in attempts to gain access to those systems for nefarious purposes. This book provides an overview of the numerous cyber dangers our critical systems face, and discusses what can be done to secure those systems.
