WhiteHawk is pleased to spread the word about all 2017 and 2018 Cybersecurity Canon award winners. The Cybersecurity Canon committee which is sponsored by Palo Alto Networks, has put together a list of informative books for all cybersecurity professionals and practitioners. The objective of the Canon reading list is to “identify a list of must-read books for all cybersecurity practitioners—be they from industry, government or academia— [where if the books] are not read, [it] will make the practitioner incomplete. Check this list out today!

Please take a look at the Cybersecurity Canon’s website by clicking here to see the rest of their extensive reading list recommendations and book reviews.
