Recenzje

"This is a tremendous resource for every security professional and organization whose goal is to improve their cybersecurity posture. The evidence-based cybersecurity approach ties the criticality of understanding human behavior with the technical aspects of cyber-crime. A true data centric treasure trove of valuable knowledge."

- Kausar Kenning, Executive Director, Cyber Security, Morgan Stanley

"Despite its technical nature, the evidence base supporting cybersecurity as a field of practice remains flimsy, at best. Some have even compared cybersecurity to "medieval witchcraft". This timely and essential book provides a much needed and comprehensive overview of the available evidence and of the knowledge gaps that persist, also charting the path ahead for a more scientific approach to the design, implementation, and evaluation of cybersecurity measures."

- Dr. Benoît Dupont, Professor of Criminology, University of Montreal, Canada, and Canada Research Chair in Cybersecurity.

"Dr. Pomerleau does a masterful job of deep diving into the realm of contemporary Cybersecurity. Beyond recounting the historical evolution of Cybersecurity, Pomerleau astutely weaves together a traditional IT risk management system approach with a multi-faceted humanistic approach (with ethical, sociological, psychological, and criminal elements) to present a comprehensive how-to guide for evidence-based Cybersecurity analysis."

- Dr. David L. Lowery, Full Professor of Homeland Security & Public Administration, Northcentral University
