About this book

In today’s digital ecosystem, singers, influencers, politicians, and people in positions of responsibility play by the same rules as everyone else—but they have far more at stake. The online world is far less forgiving with them. This practical guide provides everything you need to design and implement a personal cyber defense strategy tailored to these highly exposed profiles.


With a careful, rigorous, and beginner-friendly approach, it walks readers through 5 sections, 24 chapters, 5 quick-reference guides, and more than 250 notes. Non-technical readers will find clear, straightforward explanations to help them protect their identity and data. For more extreme cases, it also includes advanced operational security tactics to counter highly targeted threats. Readers outside these high-exposure groups will still find practical insights to help them lower their risk against the digital threats we all face.
