At our November Committee Review Meeting, members Dr. Georgianna (George) Shea and Adrian Sanabria each led in-depth discussions of Hall of Fame candidate books.

These reads are quite different from each other: critical infrastructure and building a cyber startup. The reviews were published in 2024, but some readers might have missed them, so it's a good idea to check them out:

🏭 George discussed 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚: 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚-𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣, 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧-𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 (𝘾𝘾𝙀) by Andrew Bochman and Sarah Freeman 👉 https://cybercanon.org/countering-cyber-sabotage-introducing-consequence-driven-cyber-informed-engineering-cce/

🏗️ Adrian shared Ross Haleliuk's 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙥 👉 https://cybercanon.org/cyber-for-builders/

The discussions around these books were great timing, as the other main topic of the meeting was preparing for the upcoming annual hall of fame🏛️voting session. Our favorite time of year, so stay tuned!

This week, Kevin Magee provides a Hall of Fame recommendation:

"Sarah Armstrong-Smith’s 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙚𝙩 is a compelling and necessary read for anyone tasked with defending digital infrastructure in a world shaped by human adversaries. Rather than focus on technical exploits or reactive controls, Sarah reframes cybersecurity through the lens of attacker motivation, what drives threat actors, how they think, and why that understanding changes everything about how we build our defenses."

On November 2, 1988, the Morris Worm became the first major computer virus to spread across the Internet. What began as a graduate student’s “experiment” quickly spiraled out of control, taking down much of the early Internet and costing millions in cleanup. It also gave rise to one of cybersecurity’s most important realizations: even well-intentioned code can cause catastrophic damage in a connected world.

To learn more, 𝙁𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 by Scott Shapiro, a #CyberCanonHoFCandidate, covers the #MorrisWorm as one of its five infamous hacks. See our review ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/r2b3zc2u

💥And as a bonus, many may not be aware that 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙤𝙤'𝙨 𝙀𝙜𝙜 also contains an interesting perspective on the Morris Worm. A year after astronomer Cliff Stoll's spy tracking journey, he was one of many admins around the country who were investigating the Morris Worm live as it was spreading through the night. Cliff writes about this experience in the book's epilogue, where he discovers that the author of the worm was actually the son of NSA's Chief Scientist, Robert Morris, whom Cliff worked with in relation to his international hacker sleuthing a year earlier.

If your mission this October is to elevate awareness, not just compliance, here is a book worth putting in your team’s hands...

𝙄𝙛 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙑𝙪𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 by @mikko became a candidate for our Hall of Fame by weaving technical insight with human stories, showing how every connected thing holds risk.

👉 https://tinyurl.com/y9ne2uzk

Why this matters during #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth:
1. In a hyperconnected world, vulnerability is the shadow companion of innovation.
2. Technology alone cannot defend. The human factor is equally critical.
3. Stories fuel understanding. A cautionary tale sticks longer than dry technical specs.

Differential Privacy is an increasingly popular, though controversial, technique for protecting confidential data by carefully introducing statistical noise. Even if you are very familiar with #DP, you likely don't know quite as much as Dr. Simson Garfinkel ( @xchatty )

This week, Ben Rothke ( @benrothke ) provides a Hall of Fame recommendation in his review of Garfinkel's new book, 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺, from The MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series. ( @themitpress )

This week, @dykstra provides a Hall of Fame recommendation review of 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩: 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮, 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙖𝙬 by professors 🧑‍🏫 Chris Hoofnagle and Golden Richard III.

Josiah writes that the textbook "fills a long-standing gap. It does not tell readers what to think—it teaches them how to think about cybersecurity in a connected, contested and continually evolving world. (...) equally valuable for newcomers and experienced practitioners who want to see the bigger picture. For its breadth, clarity, and critical perspective, it belongs in the CyberCanon Hall of Fame."

This week, Crystal Kobe provides a Hall of Fame recommendation for Perry Carpenter and Kai Roer 's 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠: 𝘼𝙣 𝙀𝙭𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙏𝙤 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙠 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚.

"As someone involved in human risk management and awareness training, I found the authors’ central thesis, that resilient cybersecurity begins with culture, resonates deeply. They challenge the outdated notion of users as 'the weakest link' and reframe them as a powerful line of defense. Drawing on behavioral science, they show how consistent messaging, storytelling and social cues can shape secure behavior. Rather than seeing users as obstacles, they urge us to recognize them as people who need context, motivation and reinforcement in order to engage your organization’s 'human layer defenses'.”

"If there’s one book I’ve consistently recommended to those peering into the cybersecurity industry from the outside, it’s Jessica Barker's 'Confident Cyber Security.' I do so not just because it simplifies the complex but because it respects the reader’s intelligence while dismantling the harmful myths that gatekeep our field."

A new review by committee member @iSandipD Dholakia has been added to the Canon library. This is one you may not have heard of, but you definitely should consider adding it to your bookshelves as Sandip is recommending it for the Hall of Fame!

"Cybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance Approach" by Dr. Dave Chatterjee, Ph.D. is a must-read book to combat modern-day cyber threats. The Duke Professor and podcast host has written a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing effective cybersecurity measures to detect, protect and respond to cyberattacks in organizations.
