"Cyber Insecurity: Examining the Past, Defining the Future is a must-read for anyone serious about enhancing their organisation's cybersecurity posture. Unlike typical guides that offer generic solutions, this book delves into the historical context of cybersecurity, prompting readers to think critically about their unique challenges. Written by Dr. Vladas Leonas, an experienced Chief Information Officer (CIO), the book eases readers into the complexities of cybersecurity by explaining foundational concepts in information and communication technology (ICT). Its easy-to-read style requires no prior technical knowledge, making it accessible to management practitioners in industry and government, as well as students seeking an introduction to cybersecurity." - Dr Heinz Herrmann, Associate Professor, School of Business, Torrens University Australia "As an IT professional with over 40 years experience, most of it at a very senior level, I throughly recommend this book to all CEOs, CIOs and CISOs who want to better understand how various technologies have developed and the impact that decisions made (in good faith) in the past are having on today's and tomorrow's digital landscape. The work is meticulously researched, fully referenced and provides a rich resource. It changed my perspective on many of the elements of our digital society and prompted me to rethink things that I had long taken for granted." - Jim Hegarty Dr. Vladas Leonas has authored a truly remarkable work that masterfully chronicles the evolution of the digital realm. This book is not just an exploration but a deep dive into the intricate and interconnected networks and infrastructures that form the backbone of our digital world. With an incredible depth of knowledge and decades of hands-on experience, Dr. Leonas unravels how these systems are designed to function in harmony, illustrating their intended congruence and mutual reliance. However, what sets this book apart is its incisive examination of the real-world challenges that disrupt this harmony. Dr. Leonas sheds light on the vulnerabilities and compromised positions that arise from errors, oversights, and, too often, negligence born of insufficient understanding. The insights are both profound and practical, making this work not only a scholarly triumph but also a critical resource for addressing and mitigating the gaps in digital infrastructure. This excellent book is essential reading for a wide audience. For academia, it offers a robust foundation and an inspiring narrative of technological progression. For C-suite executives, it provides invaluable lessons on the strategic imperatives of cybersecurity and systems integrity. And for anyone passionate about computing and the Internet, it is an enlightening journey into the complexities of the digital world. Dr. Leonas' work is a must-read, delivering both intellectual rigor and practical relevance. Highly recommended for those seeking to understand and shape the future of our interconnected digital ecosystem. Andrew Jenkinson Group CEO Cybersec Innovation Partners Ltd
