Overview
Secure your applications with help from your favorite Jedi masters
In Threats: What Every Engineer Should Learn From Star Wars, accomplished security expert and educator Adam Shostack delivers an easy-to-read and engaging discussion of security threats and how to develop secure systems. The book will prepare you to take on the Dark Side as you learn—in a structured and memorable way—about the threats to your systems. You’ll move from thinking of security issues as clever one-offs and learn to see the patterns they follow.
This book brings to light the burning questions software developers should be asking about securing systems, and answers them in a fun and entertaining way, incorporating cybersecurity lessons from the much-loved Star Wars series. You don’t need to be fluent in over 6 million forms of exploitation to face these threats with the steely calm of a Jedi master.
You’ll also find:
- Understandable and memorable introductions to the most important threats that every engineer should know
- Straightforward software security frameworks that will help engineers bake security directly into their systems
- Strategies to align large teams to achieve application security in today’s fast-moving and agile world
- Strategies attackers use, like tampering, to interfere with the integrity of applications and systems, and the kill chains that combine these threats into fully executed campaigns
