Crimson Vista's Founder Publishes Second Cybersecurity Book

AUSTIN, TX - Crimson Vista announces the publication of Dr. Nielson’s second book: Discovering Cybersecurity: A Technical Introduction for the Absolute Beginner, First Edition.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap

His latest book introduces major technologies that are employed in today’s cybersecurity landscape and their fundamental principles and philosophies. Through the understanding of these core principles, business professionals are more prepared to understand what kind of technology they need; they can ask the right questions of vendors; and they can better interface with their CISO and security organization.

The audience of the book is predominantly beginners, including non-technical professionals such as policy makers, compliance teams, and business executives.

A Book for Everyone

“Cybersecurity has outgrown the specialists,” said Dr. Seth Nielson, CEO of Crimson Vista. “Many professionals today need to know at least something about security – doctors, lawyers, members of public boards, CEOs, and administrators. There are not very many books available today that both dig deep into technical content but also assume that the reader is not an engineer. I wrote this book to try and fill that gap.”

Dr. Nielson continued, “To that end I used this book as a supplement to a course I taught at the University of Texas at Austin - ‘The Technology of Cybersecurity’ - for several years.”

The book covers essential cybersecurity concepts including:

• Fundamental security principles and philosophies
• Key technologies used in modern cybersecurity
• How to evaluate security solutions and vendors
• Practical guidance for interfacing with security teams
• Real-world applications across industries
