Cyber Security Reading List

Cyber Security Reading List
Brandon Valeriano
University of Glasgow

It is that time of the year again, that time when everyone considers updating their syllabus.  So you have an interest in cyber security, but have not taken the time to develop a reading list.  Well here it is, I have, unfortunately, dived into the topic.  The following includes a one day version and then a more detailed list. 

Of course I may have left some things out, this is a developing literature so I will update as time goes on.  I attach many of my own writings here, mainly because I am a glutton like that but also because my book is not out yet. 

(sorry I didn’t hyperlink everything, end of the day, will do that in the future.  Most things can be found by just googling)

Short Version (The Essentials):
