この電子書籍について

Data Security Basics positions cybersecurity as a business survival skill in an age where data breaches cost millions, blending technical rigor with practical governance insights. The book’s core theme revolves around three pillars—encryption as a digital lockbox, access controls to minimize insider threats, and regulatory compliance frameworks like GDPR and ISO 27001. It uniquely frames compliance as a strategic advantage, not just legal obligation, while dissecting how evolving threats (ransomware, state-sponsored attacks) exploit modern interconnected systems. A standout insight reveals that 80% of breaches stem from human error, challenging readers to balance technical tools like firewalls with cultural shifts in security awareness.

Structured for clarity, the guide progresses from foundational concepts to actionable strategies, using real-world breaches like Equifax and Target to illustrate cascading failures from unpatched software or third-party risks. Case studies and checklists bridge theory and practice, offering templates for gap analyses or phishing response plans. Unlike niche technical manuals, it emphasizes interdisciplinary connections—linking encryption debates to corporate law or user psychology—to argue that data security requires collaboration across departments. The book’s accessible tone demystifies standards through analogies, avoiding jargon while stressing layered defenses that integrate technology, policy, and behavior. By prioritizing ethical, pragmatic solutions over theoretical ideals, it equips professionals to build resilience in a landscape where digital trust is non-negotiable.
