About this listen
Cyber security is here to stay.
Do you often wonder how cyber security applies to your everyday life, what’s at risk, and how can you specifically lock down your devices and digital trails to ensure you are now “hacked”?
Do you own a business and now becoming aware of how dangerous the cyber threats are to your assets? Would you like to know how to quickly create a cyber security plan for your business, without dealing with any technical jargon?
Are you interested in pursuing a career in cyber security? Did you know that the average starting salary of a cyber security professional ranges from $65,000 to $80,000 and jumps to multiple figures in a few years, depending on how far you want to go.
Here is an interesting statistic, you are already compromised. Yes, at some point, one of your digital devices or activities has been hacked and your information has been sold. If you knew how bad the threats really are, you would never go online again or you would be very paranoid.
And we’re not talking about those ads that suddenly pop up and follow you around everywhere because you were looking at sunglasses for sale on google or Amazon, that’s called retargeting marketing and is totally legal and legitimate.
We’re talking about malware that hides deep in your device watching everything you do and type, just as one example among hundreds
Our society has become saturated with internet-connected devices and trackers everywhere.
From home routers to your mobile phones, most people are easily hacked if targeted. But it gets even deeper than this; technology has advanced now to where most hacks are automated, by software. International hackers have vast networks and computers set up to conduct non-stop scans, pings, and probes for weaknesses in millions of IP addresses and network domains, such as businesses and residential home routers.
Check your router log and you’ll see it yourself. Now most devices have firewalls but still, that is what’s called an persistent threat that is here to stay, it’s growing and we all need to be aware of how to protect ourselves starting today.
In this introductory audiobook, we will cover verified steps and tactics on how to increase the level of cyber security in an organization and as an individual. It sheds light on the potential weak points which are used as infiltration points and gives examples of these breaches. We will also talk about cyber crime in a technologically-dependent world (Think IoT).
Cyber security has come a long way from the days that hacks could only be perpetrated by a handful of individuals, and they were mostly done on the larger firms or government databases. Now, everyone with a mobile device, home system, car infotainment, or any other computing device is a point of weakness for malware or concerted attacks from hackers, real or automated.
We have adopted anti-viruses and several firewalls to help prevent these issues to the point we have become oblivious to the majority of the attacks. The assistance of malware blocking tools allows our computing devices to fight thousands of attacks per day. Interestingly, cyber crime is a very lucrative industry, as has been proven by the constant investment by criminals on public information. It would be wise to pay at least half as much attention to your security.

Cryptocurrency is undoubtedly the buzzword of the century. You can’t help but hear about it; every time you fire up a search engine or a news site on the Internet, there it is. And the one thing you really can’t have avoided seeing is the phenomenal way that some cryptocurrencies are rising in price. Before we dive further into cryptocurrency and how to trade with them, it is important for you to know something - although the prices are rising at a significantly fast rate, it is vital that you look at the whole picture. If you do, you will see that they can also drop at a huge rate.

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.

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.

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

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.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

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 April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried 58 shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.

Run a Google search for “black girls” - what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls”, the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities.

Good Overview of Cybersecurity
All the information in the book is from a high level with only a basic amount of technical information. There are several sections that give some detail on particular incidents of hacking (such as Stuxnet), but these too only give enough technical detail to help the reader understand what happened.

A well thought out, intelligently written book on digital security issues and how to combat them, both before and after an attack. Great use of index of terms with their definitions at the end of the book.

Great book on the future of cyber!
This was a required book for one of my graduate school courses and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. Only criticism is when the narrator correctly pronounced Chinese names, but somehow mispronounces well known military acronyms.
