Stepping up to become a cybersecurity architect is (CA) no mean feat since it requires both upskilling and changing the way you view cybersecurity altogether. The Cybersecurity Architect's Handbook is a comprehensive guide that introduces skills needed to become a security architect, lays out a path for cybersecurity engineers to become architects, and shares the best practices to enhance the skills of existing security architects.

You'll learn to identify the weaknesses of your company's security posture, as well as find ways to improve and update the systems hardware and software security.

To prepare you for the road ahead and build on your existing skills, the book will finish off with some of the best tips and practices that will help you succeed in your career as a security architect.

By the end of the book, you will be efficiently able to both plan and execute your organization's security.
