To get the most out of this book
- Existing cyber security planners and strategists will gain insight into the reality of the space and will be better able to understand how future innovations part of that future state will be.
- This is not a how-to guide; the author does not wish to provide readers with knowledge that could potentially be turned to malicious purposes, but rather this book aims to provide the reader with a new perspective, to see and prepare for what is coming, rather than to be blinded by the threats that are more imminent.
- Cyber security experience is assumed; however, the book also features introductory concepts, which even beginners can take advantage of.
