Review: Foundations of Cybersecurity, 2nd edition

Foundations of Cybersecurity (2nd ed.) by Jason Andress is an introductory textbook for newcomers, IT staff, and managers that covers core security principles, architecture and system security, operations and management, and human factors. The updated edition adds chapters on AI security (framed by the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs), SOC operations, governance and compliance, and expanded social engineering coverage, with end-of-chapter labs and review questions to reinforce practical skills; the review notes the book is broad and accessible but not deeply technical in some areas.
