A transformative new approach to Internet security from an experienced industry expert
Taming the Hacking Storm: A Framework for Defeating Hackers and Malware is a groundbreaking new roadmap to solving the ubiquitous Internet security issues currently plaguing countries, businesses, and individuals around the world. In easy-to-understand and non-technical language, author and cybersecurity veteran Roger Grimes describes the most prevalent threats to our online safety today and what ties them all together. He goes on to lay out a comprehensive and robust framework for combating that threat-one that rests on a foundation of identity verification-and explains exactly how to implement it in the real world.
The author addresses each of the challenges, pitfalls, and roadblocks that might stand in the way of his solutions, offering practical ways to navigate, avoid, or counter those impediments. The book also includes:
- How to address peripheral security issues, including software and firmware vulnerabilities
- Strategies for addressing a lack of international agreement on the implementation of security standards and practices
- Things you can do today to encourage the development of a more secure, trusted Internet
An insightful and original new approach to cybersecurity that promises to transform the way we all use the Internet, Taming the Hacking Storm is a must-read guide for cybersecurity practitioners, academic researchers studying Internet security, and members of the general public with an interest in tech, security, and privacy.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
