Project Zero Trust: A Story about a Strategy for Aligning Security and the Business
Great read for anyone in Cyber security. Paperback a good and practical way to learn about zero trust Paperback I've seen some comments about the takeways section for each chapter. They indicate that readers would probably prefer if they were omitted from the story and that they should be appendices. Personally, I thought the takeway section per chapter was helpful. I can see how someone with more experience might not benefit as much from the material, but as a newcomer to cybersecurity, I feel it helped clear out and reiterate some of the material being covered.
Having this novel set as a fictional experience was very helpful in not only understanding the concepts, but in giving a mental image of the role that individuals would play in making this kind of corporate change. I enjoyed the book and the format. Paperback layout
While I think this was and is a vital read for those who work in Cybersecurity, the takeaways at the end of the each chapter took me out of the story. The takeaways are critical for understanding but I would recommend an appendix separate for those. Paperback Great book, if your looking at a great way to look at zero trust i highly recommend this book. Paperback
