The author convincingly lays out the arguments for the absolute cybersecurity first principle and then discusses the strategies and tactics required to achieve it. In the book, you'll explore: Infosec history from the 1960s until the early 2020s and why it has largely failed What the infosec community should be trying to achieve instead The arguments for the absolute and atomic cybersecurity first principle The strategies and tactics to adopt that will have the greatest impact in pursuing the ultimate first principle Case studies through a first principle lens of the 2015 OPM hack, the 2016 DNC Hack, the 2019 Colonial Pipeline hack, and the Netflix Chaos Monkey resilience program A top to bottom explanation of how to calculate cyber risk for two different kinds of companies This book is perfect for cybersecurity professionals at all levels: business executives and senior security professionals, mid-level practitioner veterans, newbies coming out of school as well as career-changers seeking better career opportunities, teachers, and students. Review: Excellent and very accessible study of cybersecurity - Very good book. Coming at cybersecurity with little prior knowledge, this book provided me with a very good introduction based on theory/principles developed through the author’s extensive experience and thinking about the fundamentals. For me, the mix of theory and practical approach made the subject very accessible, understandable and thought-provoking. It also gives numerous good suggestions for further reading both for cyber security and for other related subjects more widely, which for me is the sign of a well-read and deep-thinking author. Highly recommended.

I really don’t understand why all these other reviewers praise this book so much. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/571295492-cybersecurity-first-principles-a-reboot-of-strate-gy-and-tactics](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/571295492-cybersecurity-first-principles-a-reboot-of-strate-gy-and-tactics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
