What Every Cybersecurity Professional Must Master

By Mr. Peter Puroshotma, most recently Advisor to Chairman and CEO of Genpact Headstrong ""It is a privilege to write this foreword. I have known Prabhat Andleigh for thirty years, ever since 1996 when I first recognized the groundbreaking nature of his résumé-search innovation and became an advisor. Over the decades, our friendship has grown through many conversations about emerging technologies. His dedication is exemplary - not only in mastering new skills and technologies, but also in sharing his insights through the many books and articles he has authored. Prabhat's work in this book demonstrates why the future of technology depends on intelligence and integrity together. Cybersecurity, at their intersection, is essential for safeguarding corporate assets and national resilience. It is a vast and complex domain, and a book such as this brings critical knowledge together in one authoritative and accessible volume."" By Mr. Rajeev Koolath, CTO Technology Executive AI Researcher & Builder ""This book is the kind of resource the profession needs. It starts with the fundamentals: identity and access management, cloud security, network security, and data loss prevention. The material is clear and practical, useful both for experienced professionals and for those entering the field. From there, it moves into more advanced topics, including AI and GenAI in cybersecurity, current standards and regulatory frameworks, and zero-trust architectures that are quickly becoming standard practice for serious enterprises. I was especially interested in the sections covering AI-driven cybersecurity. AI presents both opportunity and risk in this space. The same capabilities that help defenders can also be used by attackers at speed and scale. Prabhat addresses these issues thoughtfully and with the right level of balance. Whether you are preparing for an interview, starting a new role, or building a stronger overall understanding of cybersecurity, this book will be valuable. It is the kind of reference you keep close at hand and return to often. Prabhat, once again, you have found a way to help others improve. That is high praise, and well deserved."" By Mr. Johnson Michael, Director, ISO - Developer Experience, Capitol One ""For over seven years at Charles Schwab central architecture team, Prabhat and I worked side by side, very often jointly, on all aspects of cybersecurity architecture and design, standards and policies, best practices, and protection from threats and vulnerabilities. Prabhat's focus throughout was deep on architecture and design and documenting guidance to services teams and operations on ensuring their adherence to best practices, as well as evaluating and onboarding many cybersecurity tools. I can say from first-hand experience that this book is grounded on sound direct experience with these technologies enhanced with extensive research in all aspects to provide a comprehensive perspective to prepare cybersecurity professionals.""
