Cybersecurity To English (Definitions)
An A-to Z list of cybersecurity-related terms in this book.
Note that an expanded version of the Cybersecurity to English Dictionary is available to purchase separately.
Nobody ever made a statue to honor a committee
This is the second edition of this book. While cybersecurity concerns continue to multiply, there are still very few good introductory books on the subject of cybersecurity. The reasons are simple:
- Most cybersecurity experts get paid too much to write books.
- Most of us are really busy.
- Very few of us know what we are doing well enough to put our reputation on the line by writing a book on the subject.
We also have to keep up to date. The subject area is evolving fast.
As I prepare the second edition, there is still no global consensus on how to write the word cybersecurity. Is it one word or two? In the US, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ISACA (the Information Security Audit and Control Association) use the one word version. So does this book. In the UK, they continue to split the term into two words: cyber security.
After attending multiple information security and cybersecurity conferences each year, often as a speaker, I began to realize in discussions with literally hundreds of professionals just how little concise and reliable information was available in the public domain. As information and cybersecurity professionals constantly try to keep up with what the latest threats are and with how to effectively measure, manage and monitor them, the books and other resources they create tend to be geared toward other IT (information technology) professionals.
