Tribe of Hackers: Cybersecurity Advice from the Best Hackers in the World - Book 2

by Marcus J. Carey and Jennifer Jin

The original Tribe of Hackers book casts a wider net than the red team edition, interviewing cybersecurity professionals across all disciplines, from penetration testers and incident responders to CISOs and security researchers. Marcus J. Carey and Jennifer Jin explore the diverse paths people take into cybersecurity, the challenges facing the industry, and the hard-won wisdom of practitioners who have spent decades defending against and simulating attacks. Each interview covers the expert's background, their views on the skills gap, diversity in security, the future of the industry, and practical advice for people at any stage of their career. The book humanizes an industry often reduced to technical certifications and toolsets, showing the range of personalities, motivations, and perspectives that make cybersecurity work.
