Computer & Internet Security: A Hands-on Approach Paperback – Illustrated, 1 May 2019

I've worked in IT for 20+ years in a variety of roles and in a risk and compliance capacity for the last 7 or 8. I've been required to take a more direct involvement with security and so have been up-skilling for the past year. I've read several books, numerous whitepapers and completed umpteen multimedia training courses. This book is the single most valuable resource I have discovered to date. It is very thorough and goes into technical detail in depth but is very well structured and easy to read. The author is clearly not just technically very knowledgeable but an excellent teacher as well.The book is only half the story though. The author has also made available for free online a collection of labs (SeedSecurityLabs.org) using virtual machines he has developed to enable the user to get hands on familiarity with the numerous security concepts covered in his book. You could use the labs on their own and you could read the book on it's own but really the two are best used together. Whether you are a student, someone looking to move into a cybersec role or an existing cybersec professional looking to fill gaps in your knowledge this book is an excellent resource and worth every penny.

Prof Wenliang Du book is very insightful. This is an Excellent book and a "must buy /read " for anyone who intends to pursue a career in IT Security. I will highly recommend this book. Well done!! prof
