Practive Security 101: Cyber security and digital health essentials

The goal of Practive Security is to provide everyone essential knowledge, strategies, and practices regarding online threats so that you can protect what matters the most from those who seek to cause you harm for their gain. We have practiced Cyber Security at the peak of the industry for over 25 years and distill those experiences and our wisdom gained to the practical knowledge and actions that can help everyone no matter what their station in life.Throughout our decades of experience, we have observed that the topic of Cyber Security has been focused on protecting enterprises and businesses, leaving individuals and families, for the most part, on their own. At the same time, we have watched multiple generations enter the online world unprepared and unprotected, which has left them vulnerable to online attacks, scams, extortion, predators, and radicalization by hidden influences. We have also noticed that most books about cyber security ignore digital health, and the books about digital health ignore cyber security. We have seen enough and are actively doing what we can to prepare anyone to counter the threats we all face the moment we connect.In this book you will find a collection of writings that cover the essentials of understanding online threats as well as what you can and should do to protect the totality of who you are, including your heart, mind, body, soul, and property. We define for you what the threat is, what you can do about it, essential protections & practices, practical tips, warnings of what to watch out for and more. Drawing from Biblical values as well as our own traditions of Western culture, we explore the threats from a perspective we have not found elsewhere and identify new classes of online adversaries hiding in plain sight as well as new forms of risks that many people seem completely blind to. This guide can be a tool used by individuals, parents, or youth to ensure you know what you need to, in order to leverage the Internet without falling victim to the many threats that are lurking. Cyber security matters because you matter. Its time to defend yourself and your loved ones from all the online threats...even the very platforms we use which have been weaponized against us. Read more
