Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
As the 2020 global lockdown became a universal strategy to control the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing triggered a massive reliance on online and cyberspace alternatives and switched the world to the digital economy. Despite their effectiveness for remote work and online interactions, cyberspace alternatives ignited several Cybersecurity challenges. Malicious hackers capitalized on global anxiety and launched cyberattacks against unsuspecting victims. Internet fraudsters exploited human and system vulnerabilities and impacted data integrity, privacy, and digital behaviour.
Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic demystifies Cybersecurity concepts using real-world cybercrime incidents from the pandemic to illustrate how threat actors perpetrated computer fraud against valuable information assets particularly healthcare, financial, commercial, travel, academic, and social networking data. The book simplifies the socio-technical aspects of Cybersecurity and draws valuable lessons from the impacts COVID-19 cyberattacks exerted on computer networks, online portals, and databases. The book also predicts the fusion of Cybersecurity into Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics, the two emerging domains that will potentially dominate and redefine post-pandemic Cybersecurity research and innovations between 2021 and 2025.
The books primary audience is individual and corporate cyberspace consumers across all professions intending to update their Cybersecurity knowledge for detecting, preventing, responding to, and recovering from computer crimes. Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic is ideal for information officers, data managers, business and risk administrators, technology scholars, Cybersecurity experts and researchers, and information technology practitioners. Readers will draw lessons for protecting their digital assets from email phishing fraud, social engineering scams, malware campaigns, and website hijacks.

This book is dedicated in sympathy to all victims of cybercrime during the COVID-19 pandemic, in condolence to all bereaved families during the same period, and in goodwill to a global audience that is desirous of Cybersecurity knowledge.
The motivation for this book began shortly after completing my PhD research at the UNESCO International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Italy in 2017 when my longing to share technology knowledge and cause positive change transformed into a passion, upon realizing that many people only view Cybersecurity as a mirage, an enigma, something to be dreaded. I had longed for the opportunity to demystify many of the Cybersecurity concepts, and I wanted real-world scenarios that people can comfortably relate with.
The opportunity finally came amid the mandatory lockdown that forced everyone to work from home as a precautionary measure to control the spread of the novel coronavirus disease that was later codenamed COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the 11th of February 2020. At that point I knew the time was ripe to put pen to paper and capture the bubbling cyberspace activities, most of which manifested as various levels of vulnerabilities and exposures to cyberattacks.
Following numerous feedback I received after my first COVID-19 publication in February 2020 titled: Tackling the Cybersecurity Impacts of the Coronavirus Outbreak as a Challenge to Internet Safety, I was convinced that the stage was set to pursue my passion and fulfil a destiny.
Today, the rest is history as I present Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic as a legacy to everyone who relies on online services and digital assets for communications, interactions, information exchange, leisure, business, education, and worship.
I hope the book helps the reader to earn a better understanding of how best to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks as we interact with digital resources in our daily personal and corporate lives, particularly in the post COVID-19 digital era.
Kenneth Okereafor
Kenneth Okereafor is a Nigerian whose intellect and drive inspire hope that a better tomorrow is possible for all of us, especially for the upcoming generation. Kenneth's lucid writing style eases the reader into a variety of important issues that encompass Cybersecurity and COVID-19 Pandemic.
Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic is an excellent contribution from a serious Cybersecurity researcher, biometric expert, and cyberspace defender. Each part of the eight-chapter book introduces and outlines important Cybersecurity concepts using real-world illustrations from the pandemic to make the narrative engaging, educative, and impactful. Kenneth succinctly outlines the online breaches and Cybersecurity incidents observed during the pandemic and highlights the relevant Cybersecurity lessons.
Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic is a useful Cybersecurity companion that should be in the library of strategic decision makers, technical, operational and administrative managers, students of technology, seekers of knowledge, and those who are responsible for managing, or those significantly impacted by, technology risk.
I recommend Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
