These myths, and many more, plague cyber security. In this book, we will see why all of the above statements are false. We will demystify cyber security, and show the breadth and depth of the field; how it encompasses not just computer science, but also psychology, sociology, physical security, behavioural economics, marketing, design, education and much, much more. Cyber security is a topic that cuts across pretty much every area of life. Government, healthcare, politics, fashion, sports, the media, big business, small business, charities, education – you name it, it is affected by cyber security. It is a
fascinating, challenging, fast-paced field that changes every day, but at the same time is concerned with issues that have been a part of human life for centuries. In the last few years, awareness has grown phenomenally.
