Through a solutions-focused lens, the book provides easy-to-apply practical advice and guidelines using non-technical language, enabling practitioners to mitigate the rising threat of cybercrime, which can no longer be ignored. By the last page the reader will have knowledge and awareness towards: securing devices, spotting financial fraud, mitigating the risks of online communications, operating more securely from a home office and handling a cyber event if one occurs.
