Cyber espionage, Red October, Anonymous and hacktivists... Cyber security has risen rapidly in the headlines, and the interest will continue unabated in the future. But what are we talking about when we talk about cyber security?

International top security experts stress that cyber affects all of us in everyday actions. Digitized society is increasingly dependent on information networks, their availability, reliability and safety.

This book discusses the world of bits that is an unfamiliar and foreign place for most of us, using familiar terms and without any fuss. The first part of the book describes what cyber security actually is and why it affects all of us. The second section provides practical guidance for building a balanced cyber strategy and for reducing risks within the new opportunities offered by the new digital world.
