Sitting Duck Hardcover – August 9, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
How better to describe an easy cybercrime target than a Sitting Duck? Sitting Ducks have been vulnerable prey from time immemorial. Cybercriminals, like most criminals, will first zero in on the easiest targets - Sitting Ducks.
Alongside the exponential growth of the World Wide Web, there is a parallel cyberworld, sinister in nature, sometimes called the Dark Web, fostered and operated by cybercriminals that act like highwaymen of old who rely on shock and disruption to gain their own ends. To counter these cybercriminals, the Celebrity Experts(R) in this book work to secure their clients' systems and data. With added government regulations for compliance and privacy, these specialists are often called upon to train employees to meet strict regulatory compliance standards.
Unfortunately, cybercrime is not localized. Hacking into computers is a worldwide practice. It disrupts our businesses and social systems, and often demands ransom payments in Bitcoin (or similar cybercurrency) that is virtually untraceable. The Celebrity Experts(R) in this book are consulted and retained to ensure our businesses and organizations don't become a Sitting Duck for cybercriminals. They can protect us, our businesses and our organizations from devastating financial and social consequences that cybercriminals cause. ... And they give you peace of mind!

Bill Whelden is the founder and CEO of Rx-IT, a concierge IT service provider for healthcare practices, businesses, schools and non-profit organizations. For nearly two decades Rx-IT has focused on providing service to its clients that goes way beyond the scope of a traditional IT service provider.
Bill started installing network wiring in offices nearly 25 years ago. In those early days, he learned to build business computers and servers then to setup complete, networked business systems. It quickly became apparent to him that frustration and resentment with IT companies was growing because of unexpected system failures, unpredictability of cost and the inability to obtain immediate and competent IT support when it was needed. As a result, Rx-IT was born and became one of the first technology companies to offer proactive support and fixed pricing.
Today, Rx-IT continues to deliver world-class service, security and support to its clients.

I got my first "computer" in 1984 from my parents. This sparked my interest in computers prompting me to start a web design company at the age of 16. I attended Rutgers University with a double major in Computer Science and Finance.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017The book gives you a really good insight into how little we know about the internet and what's out there. Not just 1, or 2, you get 17 cybersecurity experts sharing their expertise about the darkweb, cybersecurity, and why the weakest link in the security chain is you! Another thing that I like is that part of the proceeds support St Jude Children's hospital.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017Loved the book.
Each chapter is a different topic and is authored by an"Expert" that is more often a tech company CEO or other industry professional.
The authors have various backgrounds that cater to different market shares, something that I think gives great insight into the current SMB tech landscape.
Lots of pointers and very easy to digest! Would recommend!
