How can you assess your Cybersecurity skills as an entry level professional?
Is there even such a thing as an entry-level security job? Helen Patton, CISO at Cisco Security Business Group, writes in her book Navigating the Cybersecurity Career Path (https://amzn.to/3Pc3AWl) that there are very few truly entry-level jobs in cybersecurity. She writes that most entry-level roles tend to be quite specific, focused on one part of the profession, and are not generalist roles. For example, hiring managers will want a network security engineer with knowledge of networks or an identity management analyst with experience in identity systems. They are not looking for someone interested in security.

Cybersecurity Canon

Education
The goal of the Cybersecurity Canon is to identify a list of must-read books for all cybersecurity practitioners -- be they from industry, government or academia -- where the content is timeless, genuinely represents an aspect of the community that is true and precise, reflects the highest quality and, if not read, will leave a hole in the cybersecurity professional’s education that will make the practitioner incomplete

The Definitive Guide to PCI DSS Version 4: Documentation, Compliance, and Management
APress
This book is your go-to reference on how to achieve PCI compliance. With more than 400 PCI requirements, the updated PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0 does not detail the specific documentation that a PCI auditor―known as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA)―needs to know. This book is the first reference to detail the specific documentation needed for every PCI requirement.

This book is your go-to reference on how to achieve PCI compliance. With more than 400 PCI requirements, the updated PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0 does not detail the specific documentation that a PCI auditor―known as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA)―needs to know. This book is the first reference to detail the specific documentation needed for every PCI requirement. The authors provide real-world examples of complying with the 12 main PCI requirements and clarify many of the gray areas within the PCI DSS.
Any merchant or service provider that stores, processes, or transmits credit card data must comply with the PCI Data Security Standard. PCI DSS 1.0 was first published in 2004, yet many of those tasked with PCI compliance still encounter difficulties when trying to make sense of it. PCI DSS version 4 was published in March 2022, and at 360 pages, it has numerous additional requirements, leaving many people struggling to know what they need to do to comply.
PCI DSS v4.0 has a transition period in which PCI DSS version 3.2.1 will remain active for two years from the v4.0 publication date. Although the transition period ends on March 31, 2024, and may seem far away, those tasked with PCI compliance will need every bit of the time to acquaint themselves with the many news updates, templates, forms, and more, that PCI v4.0 brings to their world.
You will:
Know what it takes to be PCI compliant
Understand and implement what is in the PCI DSS
Get rid of cardholder data
Have everything you need to know about segmenting your cardholder data network
Know what documentation is needed for your PCI compliance efforts
Leverage real-world experience to assist PCI compliance workOther authorsSee publication -
