Wow ! Being an IT professional for last 17 years, this copy had been a much awaited . Rohit has been a household name in global security and privacy arena.

An extremely powerful naration of the journey of data security and privacy by Rohit. Today data rules the world.
This book raises awareness on how the data can be missused and what should be done to protect it. We normalise few risks in our daily life, and this book is an eye opener.
After reading this book you will understand “being victim to cyber attacks is also your choice”.
I strongly recommend everyone who is concerned with the privacy and security of data to read this book atleast once.
Rohit did a commendable job in keeping this complex topic simple enough for the common reading. It’s one of unique skills Rohit possess. What makes this book an excellent read is how he blends the practical security aspects of data privacy and its security lifecycle in this book. Well done!!!
