Full Description
The information security arena is often vague and confusing for internet users, both young and old. New traps are being devised daily, and falling into them can take legal, ethical, financial, physical, and mental tolls on individuals. With increasing cases of fake news, identity theft, piracy, spying, and scams surfacing, this book explains the risks of the internet and how they can be mitigated from a personal and professional perspective.
Surviving the Wild Wild Web: A User's Playbook to Navigating the Internet's Trickiest Terrains is a readable guide addressing the malicious behaviors within internet cultures. Written in simple and jargon-free language, the book describes ten pillars of information security risks faced by all internet users. Each pillar will be detailed as a story, starting with the roots of the problem and branching out into tangential related issues and topics. Each chapter ends by detailing ways a user can avoid falling victim to cyber threats. It uses a combination of news articles, topical current events, and previously published academic research to underpin the ideas and navigates how users interact with the World Wide Web. The book aims to create a generation of internet-literate readers who can spot the pitfalls of the internet in their personal and professional lives to surf the web safely.
This guide will appeal to any individual interested in internet safety, with a potential readership extending to students and professionals in the fields of computer science, information systems, cybersecurity, business, management, human resources, psychology, medicine, education, law, and policy.
