Introduction to Cybersecurity: Concepts, Principles, Technologies and Practices Universities Press, – 2023. – 517 p. – ISBN: 9789393330451. PDF, EPUB (true) In today's digital world, cybersecurity is an essential and critical survival skill. This book aims to provide students with foundational knowledge across the broad range of topics that they need to navigate cybersecurity challenges at the individual and organizational level. It offers an in-depth examination of the various types of cybercrimes and cyberattacks and the management practices, strategies, tools and technologies that can be used to secure information. It also explores cyber laws and regulations and explains how the evolution of and advances in digital technologies have had a major influence on both cybercrime and cybersecurity. Hackers are constantly probing applications to find vulnerabilities that they can exploit. Vulnerabilities are also discovered by the software developers themselves, or users or researchers who notify/warn the concerned vendor company that a fix is needed. A software vulnerability that is publicly known to those who should be concerned with its mitigation including the vendor of the target software and for which no fix/patch has been released is called a zero-day vulnerability. Hackers are aware that they have a window of opportunity to launch cyberattacks exploiting these zero-day vulnerabilities until they are fixed by the vendors and patched by the users. An application security vulnerability can be described as a security bug, flaw, error, fault, hole or weakness in the software architecture, design, code or implementation that can be exploited by attackers.
