Description
Think like a hacker to protect your sensitive information
To safeguard your private data from prying eyes, it helps to understand how hackers do what they do. Hacking For Dummies gives you the tools you need to step into a hacker's shoes and discover the best strategies to secure your data. You won't learn how to steal your neighbours' Wi-Fi, but you will gain the skills to keep nosy hackers out of your systems and applications. With clear, jargon-free explanations, you'll learn to recognize cyberthreats and keep your information safe. This updated edition includes new content on AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the security implications of hybrid work.
- Understand the tools hackers use to steal sensitive data from individuals and businesses
- Discover methods of protecting your information—including improving your security, recognizing phishing scams, and more
- Assess your current network and cloud configurations from a hacker's perspective using proven vulnerability and penetration testing techniques
- Defend against AI-generated scams, lost devices, and other common threats
Hacking For Dummies is for anyone looking to protect their devices from hacking—at home, at the office, or anywhere in-between.
