Reviews

The book is very informative and is a pleasure to read. It communicates well to its readers on the various aspects of information warfare and cyber threats, and their consequences. The discussions in the book are followed up by various examples and case studies, helping improve understanding on the issue highlighted. Given the dangers of cyber threats, I recommend this book as a must-read for any internet user, irrespective of background.
