Technology proficiency is now a necessity for most professionals. In this very practical book, W. Kuan Hon presents a comprehensive foundational guide to technology and cybersecurity for lawyers and other non-technologists seeking a solid grounding in key tech topics. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach that elucidates the high-level basics then goes a step beyond, Hon clearly explains core technical computing subjects: hardware/software, computing models/APIs, data storage/databases, programming, networking including Internet/web, email and mobile, and artificial intelligence/machine learning including LLMs, detailing cybersecurity essentials like encryption/hashing, public key infrastructure, digital signatures and PETs and flagging various security/privacy-related aspects throughout. Concrete examples help to consolidate understanding and illustrate the practical issues.

Key Features:

  • Direct, engaging writing style

  • Highlights fines/legal action regarding specific security/tech-related issues
  • Companion PDF contains several ‘try-it-yourself’ illustrations and further information
