IT Security can appear daunting to most when starting, the sheer amount of information, product types, threats and techniques used for hacking leaves one wondering where to start. This book aims to shortcut that complexity and offer in one volume everything one needs to know on how to setup a good Cybersecurity architecture and defences so as to prevent breaches and attacks.

Theory is explained, but emphasis is given as to implement this in a practical manner, so that the reader can take these lessons and apply them immediately.
