In this book the author draws inspiration from Sun Tzu's Art of War, a work that explains conflict between nations, and he applies this to the computer security setting, examining how we should consider protecting information systems from accidents or malicious attacks. The author first briefly introduces Sun Tzu. Then each chapter in the book takes its inspiration from an original title in The Art of War, where the author offers a general introduction to the content and then describes its application in a cybersecurity setting. These chapters cover estimates; waging war; offensive strategy; how you prepare for an attack; energy; weaknesses and strengths; the variables that need consideration before embarking on a war; how infrastructure is related to the concept of ground; attack by fire or how skilled attackers hide behind noise; and employing secret agents. The book will be interesting for computer security researchers and professionals who would like some grounding in a security mindset.

在这本书中，作者从《孙子兵法》中获得了灵感，这是一部解释国家之间冲突的作品，他将其应用于计算机安全环境，研究我们应该如何考虑保护信息系统免受意外或恶意攻击。作者首先简要地介绍了孙子。然后，书中的每一章都从《孙子兵法》的一个原始标题中获得灵感，作者对内容进行了总体介绍，然后描述了其在网络安全环境中的应用。这些章节涵盖了估计；发动战争；进攻策略；如何为攻击做准备；能量；弱点和优势；在展开战争之前需要考虑的变量；基础设施与地面概念的关系；通过火力攻击或熟练的攻击者如何隐藏在噪音后面；以及雇佣特工。这本书对于希望在安全思维方面有一定基础的计算机安全研究人员和专业人员来说会很有趣。
