Thomas J. Mowbray

Dr. Tom Mowbray is the author of a new John Wiley & Sons book: Cybersecurity: Managing Networks, Conducting Tests, and Investigating Intrusions November 2013 Written explicitly to be the core hands-on textbook for Network Security courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. At the time of writing, no other textbook served this purpose, and cybersecurity professors in 2 and 4 year colleges were teaching from their own hand cobbled notes. How can we ever scale cybersecurity defenses to the necessary levels to defend America and the civil society... with no textbook? This new book is a useful handbook for cybersecurity professionals and colleagues new to the field. The book covers an amazing breadth and depth of topics, with advanced coverage of Windows/Linux/Python network programming and Advanced Log Analysis (with downloadable scripts); rare skills in the workforce, but extremely useful in penetration testing and cyber network defense. BIO: Thomas J. Mowbray, PhD, holds gold-level certification from the SANS Institute in network penetration and ethical hacking. Dr. Mowbray who has earned a doctorate in computer science, has co-authored 5 other professional books, including Wiley's bestseller: Antipatterns: Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis. After founding the Northrup Grumman Cyber Warfare Community of Practice, Dr. Mowbray joined the Certification and Accreditation Team (an elite cybersecurity test group) as their network administrator, security tools customizer, and hands-on penetration tester. At the time of writing, Dr. Mowbray is the Chief Enterprise Architect of The Ohio State University.
