The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security by William L. Simon, Kevin D. Mitnick

4.0

There are a lot of interesting and concerning examples in this book of how manipulation can affect a business. I enjoyed reading through these examples to understand how such an individual thinks and how to protect against them. With an interest in a career in cybersecurity, I think this is a good reference. The last chapter is very dry, but provides very usable procedures for companies. The casual reader might get tired through this chapter; the corporate reader, however, should take heed.
