Positioned as Volume 1 of the \u003ci\u003eCybersecurity Golden Collection\u003c\/i\u003e, the book moves beyond traditional technical explanations to present cybersecurity as a strategic, trust-centered discipline that integrates governance, risk management, adversarial thinking, Zero Trust architecture, and artificial intelligence (AI) security.\u003cbr\u003eThe book introduces a structured and unified cybersecurity model built on five interconnected layers: trust, governance, risk, threat, and validation. This framework enables readers to progress from foundational knowledge to real-world capability while ensuring that security is not assumed but continuously validated through measurable outcomes. At its core, the book emphasizes a critical shift-from preventing attacks to ensuring trust in systems, data, and intelligent decision-making processes.\u003cbr\u003eA defining feature of this work is its integrated learning system, which combines theory, application, and analysis. The book includes \u003cb\u003e39 practical exercises\u003c\/b\u003e, each designed to simulate real-world cybersecurity scenarios across domains such as endpoint protection, SIEM detection, application security testing, identity management, and data protection. Every exercise is paired with a \u003cb\u003etechnical response\u003c\/b\u003e, providing step-by-step analysis, detection logic, control implementation, and strategic insights aligned with modern security practices.\u003cbr\u003eTo reinforce applied understanding, the book incorporates \u003cb\u003e10+ real-world case studies\u003c\/b\u003e, including major incidents such as supply chain attacks and ransomware in healthcare, along with a comprehensive multi-stage case scenario that demonstrates how cyberattacks evolve from human exploitation to system compromise and business disruption. In addition, readers engage with \u003cb\u003e25+ scenario-based questions\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003e50+ multiple-choice assessments\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003e30+ real-life scenarios\u003c\/b\u003e, all designed to develop critical thinking and decision-making skills.\u003cbr\u003eThe book also features \u003cb\u003e20+ capsule insights\u003c\/b\u003e, delivering concise, high-impact conceptual summaries that connect technical controls to strategic outcomes. These elements ensure that readers not only learn how cybersecurity works but also understand why it matters in organizational and societal contexts.\u003cbr\u003eKey themes explored throughout the book include cybersecurity as a foundation of digital trust, the implementation of Zero Trust principles, defense-in-depth strategies, risk-based security, and the growing importance of AI security. Emerging challenges such as adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model manipulation are addressed, extending cybersecurity beyond traditional systems to include intelligent and automated environments.\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for students, professionals, researchers, and decision-makers, this book serves as both a learning guide and a strategic framework. It bridges the gap between theory and practice while aligning with industry standards and modern security frameworks.\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, this book transforms cybersecurity from a reactive technical function into a proactive, adaptive, and trust-driven discipline-equipping readers to understand, validate, and continuously improve security in an increasingly complex and intelligent digital world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47882578362519,"sku":"9798195586287","price":6897.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798195586287.webp?v=1781096020","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cybersecurity-foundations-defense-strategies-and-emerging-threats-a-comprehensive-practice-driven-framework-for-modern-security-9798195586287","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
