About this listen
Protect your business with Cyber Essentials.
“The book will be good for organisations wishing to get certified against the Cyber Essentials scheme, but it also [contains] lots of practical advice. Its brief nature makes it very suitable for reminding IT staff about general good practices, and it won’t take too long to read.” (Claire Agutter, lead tutor, ITSM Zone)
Every year, thousands of computer systems in the UK are compromised. The majority fall victim to easily preventable cyberattacks, carried out with tools that are freely available on the Internet. Cyber Essentials is the UK government's reaction to the proliferation of these attacks. It requires that organizations put basic security measures in place, enabling them to reliably counter the most common tactics employed by cybercriminals.
Ensure access to government contracts.
From October 1, 2014, all suppliers bidding for a range of government ICT contracts - in particular, contracts requiring the handling of sensitive and personal information - must be certified to the scheme.
Take your first step to certification.
Cyber Essentials: A Pocket Guide will help you to:
- Understand the requirements of the scheme
- Implement the controls correctly
- Realize when you are ready to seek certification
- Get a grip on both the certification process and the distinction between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus
- Find additional help and resources
Cyber Essentials certification will provide numerous benefits, including the opportunity to tender for business where certification to the scheme may be a prerequisite, reducing insurance premiums, and helping to improve investor and customer confidence.
This guide explains how to achieve certification to Cyber Essentials in a fast, effective, and cost-effective manner.
Contents:
- Introduction
- Part one - Requirements for basic technical protection from cyberattacks
- Part two - Assurance framework
- Part three - Further assistance

Why should you learn hacking? First, to protect yourself. Cyber criminals are everywhere, stealing people’s sensitive data, infecting computers with ransomware, and gaining access to bank accounts. Once you’re aware of the techniques they use, you’ll be able to defend yourself. Second, you can become a “white hat hacker”, a cyber security expert who helps companies find vulnerabilities in their software. You can earn tens of thousands of dollars for discovering a single bug.

Before the advent off the wireless technology era, the existing communication technologies were primarily powered by wired technology. From the telephone to the fax machine, communication was not possible without a physical connection between the communication device and the source of the power of the device. For instance, there had to be a connection between a wired telephone and the dial board for communication to be possible. Just as with every other wired device, wireless communication has successfully displaced wired communication.

The word “hacking” has preconceived connotations, and most people don't quite grasp the whole concept that goes into the process of hacking. Hackers have a notorious reputation. But there’s a side of hacking that most people aren’t aware of: ethical hacking. You don't hear about the ethical hacking in the news, but there are people out there with the same job description fighting the malicious hackers daily, and they get the bad rep.

Story
On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

Story
Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.

Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.
