Cyber Defense is a clear, actionable guide to protecting your digital life in an age of relentless cyber threats. Whether you're a business owner, IT professional, student, or simply someone who values their online privacy, this book equips you with the essential tools of modern cyber hygiene. It’s more than a technical manual—it’s your comprehensive roadmap for building strong digital habits and defending what matters most: your identity, your data, your finances, and your peace of mind.

Grounded in both practical strategy and foundational theory, Cyber Defense walks you through every layer of personal and professional cybersecurity. You’ll explore how to secure financial accounts through account segmentation, fraud monitoring, and two-factor protection.

The book also guides you through secure internet browsing, recognizing phishing attempts, and avoiding common traps that compromise online safety.

But Cyber Defense goes even deeper. You’ll uncover detailed techniques for locking down your email accounts, securing your smartphones, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices, and configuring your home network with proper firewall rules and router settings. Every chapter includes actionable recommendations that can be implemented immediately—no technical background required.

Written by cybersecurity educator and author Dr. Jason Edwards, this book combines two decades of industry expertise with a clear mission: to empower everyday users and professionals to take control of their digital environment.
