This book approaches subjects that are not that common in the cybersecurity industry, like the employees' lack of people skills. It's not a book I would read for myself though.

The realism of this book is out of this world. Tech officials would be able to relate well with this one. Congrats Christian on BOTD.

I'm captivated by the idea of cybersecurity professionals battling cyber thieves with people skills. The Secure Methodology sounds fascinating, and I'm curious to explore its seven steps.

Latest Review: VROOM! Barry, Kari and the Power Boost! by William G Wilberforce III

Post by Emmanuel Okotie »

This book seem exciting to read. It sure has a lot to communicate as regards emotional intelligence and how to relate with people, especially in our work space. Many lack this communication skill. A book like this is needed to help adjust our relationship with our workers.
Congratulations on being BOTD!

I think this book is suitable for people who are into technology and cyber security. I'm not techy enough to understand most of it.

According to a saying in the cybersecurity field, the biggest threat to security lays between the computer screen and the chair. Indeed the human factor, so it's crucial that people who work with computers know what they're doing, especially when that concerns their system's security. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

This book is great for anyone who wants to improve their people skills. Particularly people in the tech industry. It's unfortunate that the authors tone in this book came off as harsh and too direct. However the book seems to have great information regardless of the critiques.

Very insightful review, enough to tempt me to look through it as I do enjoy learning about communication and people skills. Am a bit put off by the idea of a 'too harsh and direct' tone, however, am still interested in checking it out and see how I might find it while reading for myself.

However, despite how much I appreciated your review, I don't think I would have much interest in this book. Most of it is too complex for me to comprehend! I am, nevertheless, concerned about cybersecurity. Happy BOTD, and congratulations!

Your review was well-balanced, and I appreciate your honest opinion. The sample pages discussed how the communication skills of the cybersecurity teams need improvement. I have previously read about the concept of Kaizen and believe in it. It is a Japanese term that means continuous improvement. It refers to taking small, positive steps daily that will reap considerable progress in the long run. I appreciate that the author has discussed this topic and included it in his seven-step Secure Methodology guide. Congrats on the BOTD!

In today's book of the day, the author, Espinosa, has developed a training called Secure Methodology to help fight what he considers to be the root cause of cyber insecurity. I think the book is highly informative. Congrats on #BOTD!

Christian Espinosa is undoubtedly the smartest person you'll ever meet! He is well versed in matters of ICT and specifically cyber security. Am glad that the reviewer reassured us that the language used to explain the Secure Methodology is simple even for non-tech individuals. I'm going to read in-depth about the proposed seven steps and the valuable, reasonable solutions offered by the author. This is a detailed review, thank you.
