About this title

Review:

"The authors have rooted this text in real-world implementations and approaches, but with enough of a grounding in the concepts that what you learn here will remain relevant as, inevitably, the nature of the threats we face, and of the kinds of threat forecasting that emerge to tackle them, continue to evolve." --Network Security

"If you’re looking for a book to give a solid overview of what threat forecasting can do for your organization, you don’t have to look further. It’s concise and coherent, provides great real-world examples, is short enough to read in one or two sittings, and provides good advice on getting colleagues and management to support the effort..." --Help Net Security
