Editorial Reviews

Review

"Cybersecurity is one of the most pressing concerns facing the world today. The enemy is all around us and doesn't discriminate against the individual, business, or government. We're all at risk, all equally at threat. Shira Rubinoff has done a brilliant job of bringing together a diverse range of cybersecurity experts who share their experiences and insights into how we need to face and safeguard ourselves against the online menace."

--

Chuck Brooks, Emerging Technologies and Cybersecurity Thought Leader & Evangelist, Cybersecurity Expert for 'The Network' at the Washington Post, and Forbes Contributor

"This book is aimed at business leaders, to make them recognize the importance of cybersecurity and the fact that setting rules is not enough. It's a great read for those in the C-suite that want to have a broader perspective of their company's cybersecurity posture."

"Cyber Minds offers a unique perspective to both novice and expert practitioners of cybersecurity and will always occupy a special spot in my library for years to come."

Cyber Minds asks probing questions and gets the answers right

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

It takes a great cyber mind to probe great cyber minds for answers and Shira Rubinoff is no exception. From CISO's to high level executives keeping tech titans safe, Rubinoff asks them all thought provoking questions that unfold as enjoyable interview-style conversations and go on to educate and inspire readers. Discussing major breaches of our time while delving into intellectually diverse technologies including AI, cloud, IoT and blockchain, Rubinoff never strays far from the guiding principle that the human factor is still the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. Cyber Minds offers a unique perspective to both novice and expert practitioners of cybersecurity and will always occupy a special spot in my library for years to come.

This is a book that explains cyber security in a way that people can understand

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2020

One of the major challenges in cyber security is explaining very complex concepts to people with little to no technical background. Even people with an IT background often have a difficult time comprehending some of the concepts behind the controls and processes we use to protect our customers.

What I was most impressed about with this book is how Shira can explain these complex concepts utilizing language and terms that someone without a cybersecurity background will be able to immediately comprehend. What struck me the most was how she explained concepts about adapting communications to different generations, how to address training needs, and how to address operational security. Her writing style of providing excellent story-telling plus bringing in experts who are also skilled at explaining their areas of expertise made this an enjoyable read. What stands out the most for me is that this is a book I feel comfortable giving someone who does not have top-level expertise in security to give them the background they need. I also would recommend this book to experienced cybersecurity professionals because her writing style not only explains concepts, it does so in a way that our customers understand. We need more customer empathy in this field, and this book can help there because it provides a view into how they think. I am extremely impressed with her writing style, and how she is able to concisely explain these concepts. Her section on Blockchain alone discussed concepts behind the technology in a way that few others have been able to touch.

Shira has provided a book that I consider to be a valuable resource. I look forward to what she's going to publish next.

Definitely a book to keep you informed on hot topics around the industry

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2020

“Cyber Minds” by Shira Rubinoff is an exceptional read for any cybersecurity practitioner. Ms. Rubinoff lays out a solid foundation for expressing her own experiences and recommendations for the current threat landscape in Chapter 1: Integrating Humans and Technology- Four Steps to Cyber Hygiene and Chapter 2: How Risky Behavior Leads to Data Breaches. Many of the topics she writes about in these chapters are things that professionals in our industry want to see changed or at least, addressed.

The subsequent chapters were very interesting as each of them hit on topics that widely discussed in the field. This is a wonderful opportunity to “hear” from the experts in each of their verticals, some of the challenges that we are facing as well as what we are doing to address them. The chapters I really enjoyed were Chapter 7: Staying Cybersecure in the IoT Revolution and Chapter 8: Cyberwars- Bringing Military Lessons to Modern Information Security.

Overall, this book was easy to read and I highly recommend it. Kudos to Shira and everyone who put this together.

Time to shift security focus and strategy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2020

There is a need for organizations to change from a compliance culture and adopt a real security culture. Stop doing security because you are told to do it, and start doing security like the future of your entire business relies on it (because it does!)

If you are reviewing you enterprise level securities strategy, and looking at Zero Trust or Insider Threat models, this book will assist you in gaining a wider range of ideas and approaches.

By reading this book you will dig into the psychology of people and gain new ways to tackle your risks and threats. The method of using an interview approach to gaining insights from experts in their field, changes the dynamic of reading a book written solely by the author alone, to providing an engaging journey of discovery; as of you had hired these consultants yourself.

I hope you enjoy the read as much as I did.

This is a very pragmatic and easy to understand look at cyber security

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2020

As a Chief Information Security Officer, I know that one of the very difficult parts of this job is explaining cyber security and information security in a way that can be understood by everyone. Shira does a great job with this. Her interview and writing style keep the flow on target and address some very important aspects of cyber security. It's not just writing and interviewing. The Discussion sections that offer a recap and highlight the most important parts of the interviews are great. This give solid take-aways from the book.

I found the interview with General Touhill very interesting. Applying some basic military thinking and tactics to cyber-warfare should be fundamental to any cyber defense. This may not be a kinetic war, but it is war. Being situational aware when using social media, using MFA and VPNs, and using a Zero Trust model should be everyone's starting point.

Shira has written a great book for everyone to read and understand.
