If It’s Smart, It’s Vulnerable 1st Edition, Kindle Edition is now out!

If It’s Smart, It’s Vulnerable 1st Edition, Kindle Edition is one version of a new book by one of the pioneering luminaries out there.

I really look forward in reading this book, because I’ve known of Mikko for quite a long time.

I recently found Smashing Security using overcast, and listened to podcast 86. Its a different take on Security, I must say.

On Podcast 87, Mikko was on the podcast to talk about his new book that was an on and off again project since he spoke on TED Talks.

I have published with his permission his talks throughout the technology blog and podcast, and I want to plug his book.

I will buy it and hopefully read it and I hope you do too. Mikko has been in this industry longer than I have been alive, it seems. But in all seriousness, he’s been responsible for so much, yet the story is barely known to many.

I hope that this book finds you well, and please let me know what you think of it after you read it. Email, imessage or text me. You can also leave an audio file and let me know what you think too.

Nice going, Mikko!

From the book page

Reimagine the future of the internet
All our devices and gadgets—from our refrigerators to our home security systems, vacuum cleaners, and stereos—are going online, just like our computers
did. But once we’ve successfully connected our devices to the internet, do we have any hope of keeping them, and ourselves, safe from the dangers that
lurk beneath the digital waters?
In If It’s Smart, It’s Vulnerable, veteran cybersecurity professional Mikko Hypponen delivers an eye-opening exploration of the best—and worst—things the
internet has given us. From instant connectivity between any two points on the globe to organized ransomware gangs, the net truly has been a mixed blessing.
In this book, the author explores the transformative potential of the future of the internet, as well as those things that threaten its continued existence:
government surveillance, censorship, organized crime, and more.
Readers will also find:

• Insightful discussions of how law enforcement and intelligence agencies operate on the internet
• Fulsome treatments of how money became data and the impact of the widespread use of mobile supercomputing technology
• Explorations of how the internet has changed the world, for better and for worse
• Engaging stories from Mikko’s 30-year career in infosec

Perfect for anyone seeking a thought-provoking presentation of some of the most pressing issues in cybersecurity and technology, If It’s Smart, It’s Vulnerable
will also earn a place in the libraries of anyone interested in the future of the internet.

Amazon Kindle price $17

You can search Amazon for other formats, and you can search bookshare to see if its there too, but I don’t think the NLS has it yet.

Wherever you find it, if you’re interested, please get this book. I’m sure it’ll be as good as his talks.
