Drawing on criminology, cognitive psychology, military theory, and twenty-five years of practitioner experience across physical, cyber, personnel, and operational domains, Chris Mark treats security as a unified discipline whose underlying problems are the same regardless of domain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not another cybersecurity book.
