Reviews

"George Loukas, a prof. at the Univ. of Greenwich, London, treats us to his specialty: cyber-physical attacks. His book is neither stuffy nor too theoretical. What this book does well is describe the bewildering attack methods against a long list of IoT assets. Readers do not need to be cyber savvy to benefit from Loukas's text." --Security Letter, Farewell Issue

"Reading this book will help us recognize an attack, identify the type of attack, and learn how to stop it. It is recommended for all security professionals who wish to be prepared for the next cyber-physical attack sure to come." --Security Management

"…takes you most usefully through the issue…In style and content the book is commendably readable in what could have easily bogged down the non-specialist reader in computer code." --Professional Security Magazine Online
