Security Foundations

Security Foundations gives you the mental structure that every other cybersecurity topic builds on. Before you can think clearly about web defense, identity management, system hardening, incident response, governance, or cloud security, you need a clear picture of what security is trying to protect, why it exists, and how defenders reason about risk, trust, access, and control.
