Think like a hacker to protect your sensitive information
To safeguard your private data from prying eyes, it helps to understand how hackers do what they do. Hacking For Dummies gives you the tools you need to step into a hacker's shoes and discover the best strategies to secure your data.

With clear, jargon-free explanations, you'll learn to recognize cyberthreats and keep your information safe. This updated edition includes new content on AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the security implications of hybrid work.
