outstanding lecture series

What did you love best about Thinking about Cybersecurity: From Cyber Crime to Cyber Warfare?

The lecture series provided a great overview, for the non-expert, of the most current issues in information- & cyber-security, in a highly intelligible & engaging manner. Even if you are moderately literate on this subject, from trade press reading & from the security policies of your corporate home, you will learn a lot from this series.

What does Professor Paul Rosenzweig bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Well, this is not a book, just a lecture series. I understand that the author has written some books on the same topic & I plan to look them up and get one if it doesn't look too technical.

Was hoping it would be more indepth

The book is more focused on cyber security from a policy and regulatory point of view. I was hoping it would be more focused on concrete methods and examples.

Interesting and topical

A good review of cyber security history and issues. Accessible for a non-computer person like me. Chapter 16 has advice for protecting one's own systems and data.

informative.

Great way to drive your thinking and make you realize the opportunity in the cyber world.

Solid information both for learning and refreshing

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, there are diversified clusters of knowledge ranging from beginner knowledge to advanced ideas. Also the last couple chapters have good future ideas and projects of computing.
