商品描述
The emergence of quantum computing introduces a significant shift in the digital and security landscape--prompting organizations to reassess the foundations of how we protect information. Systematic Security: Building Quantum Security is a practical guide for security professionals, technologists, engineers, and organizational leaders seeking to prepare for the long-term impact of quantum technology on existing and future systems.
In this structured and accessible book, cybersecurity expert Timur Qader presents a step-by-step approach to quantum security. By integrating insights from physics, computer science, and applied cybersecurity, the book explains key principles of quantum mechanics--such as superposition, entanglement, and interference--and examines how these principles can both undermine classical encryption and enable alternative methods for securing data.
The book begins by outlining the scientific discoveries that formed the basis of quantum theory, followed by a clear explanation of quantum computing fundamentals. It then guides readers through the current landscape of postquantum cryptography, threat models, and security maturity frameworks. Readers will gain insight into how nation-states, cybercriminals, and enterprises are preparing for the arrival of "Q-Day"--the moment when quantum computers reach the capability to break widely used encryption standards.
More importantly, the book provides practical direction on how to prepare. This includes assessing existing cryptographic tools, adopting NIST-aligned transition strategies, and implementing quantum-resilient approaches to identity, detection, cloud infrastructure, and product security.
Rather than offering speculation or alarm, this book delivers a grounded and strategic approach to building resilience. It helps readers take concrete steps toward quantum readiness, while also exploring the opportunities quantum technology offers for advancing cybersecurity capabilities.
Whether you are maintaining critical systems, developing new technologies, or guiding long term strategy, Building Quantum Security equips you to respond to a rapidly evolving threat landscape shaped by quantum innovation.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
量子計算的出現對數位和安全環境帶來了重大變革,促使組織重新評估保護資訊的基礎。《系統安全:建立量子安全》是一本實用指南,專為安全專業人士、技術專家、工程師和組織領導者而設,旨在幫助他們為量子技術對現有和未來系統的長期影響做好準備。
在這本結構清晰且易於理解的書中,網路安全專家Timur Qader提出了一個逐步的方法來應對量子安全。通過整合物理學、計算機科學和應用網路安全的見解,這本書解釋了量子力學的關鍵原則,例如疊加、糾纏和干涉,並探討了這些原則如何削弱傳統加密技術以及如何啟用替代方法來保護數據。
本書首先概述了形成量子理論基礎的科學發現,接著清晰地解釋了量子計算的基本原理。然後,它引導讀者了解當前的後量子密碼學、威脅模型和安全成熟度框架。讀者將深入了解各國政府、網路罪犯和企業如何為“Q日”的到來做好準備——即量子計算機達到破解廣泛使用的加密標準的能力的那一刻。
更重要的是,本書提供了如何準備的實用指導。這包括評估現有的加密工具、採用與NIST對齊的過渡策略,以及實施對身份、檢測、雲基礎設施和產品安全具有量子韌性的方案。
本書並非提供臆測或驚慌,而是提供了一種扎實且具有戰略性的應對韌性的方法。它幫助讀者採取具體步驟以實現量子準備,同時探索量子技術在提升網路安全能力方面所提供的機會。
無論您是在維護關鍵系統、開發新技術,還是指導長期戰略,《建立量子安全》都能幫助您應對由量子創新塑造的快速演變的威脅環境。
作者簡介
Born 1976 in Afghanistan, Timur Qader, the youngest of four, left the country in 1978 because of the coup d'etat and Russian invasion. His father secured a position with the United Nations, and the negotiated terms were that he would go on assignment, and in return, the UN would extract his wife and four kids to meet him in his first assignment. For the next ten years, the family lived in several countries and had the opportunity to experience different cultures along the way.
In 1985, Timur's father was reassigned to headquarters in New York, and the family moved to Westchester, New York. After graduating from Lakeland High School in Shrub Oak, NY, Timur attended the University of Buffalo, where he received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Right after college, Timur moved to the Capital Region of New York (Albany), where he started work not in engineering but in telecommunications with Bell Atlantic, which shortly became Verizon. Along the way, he completed his MBA and MS in Information Security and met his wife, Vanessa Qader, with whom he had two boys named Xavier and Darian Qader.
Over 25 years, Timur has held multiple positions as CISO and worked for the security think tank Center for Internet Security (CIS). He spends his time with family, exercise, and education. Timur received what he deems as his greatest achievement short of family, his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2022, and he continues to practice the martial art as part of his exercise regimen.
This book is part of the Systematic Security series Timur has been working on and is the platform by which he hopes to champion sound security practices and systematic ways of instituting those practices across various institutions.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
出生於1976年的阿富汗,Timur Qader是四個孩子中最小的一個,因為政變和蘇聯入侵於1978年離開了該國。他的父親在聯合國獲得了一個職位,協商的條件是他將出任務,作為回報,聯合國將把他的妻子和四個孩子接到他第一次任務的地點。在接下來的十年裡,這個家庭生活在幾個國家,並有機會體驗不同的文化。
1985年,Timur的父親被調回紐約總部,家庭搬到了紐約的韋斯特徹斯特。Timur在紐約州的Shrub Oak的Lakeland高中畢業後,進入布法羅大學攻讀機械工程學士學位。大學畢業後,Timur搬到了紐約的首都區(奧爾巴尼),開始的工作並不是工程,而是與Bell Atlantic(後來變成Verizon)在電信領域工作。在此期間,他完成了MBA和資訊安全碩士學位,並遇到了他的妻子Vanessa Qader,兩人育有兩個兒子,名叫Xavier和Darian Qader。
在過去的25年中,Timur擔任過多個CISO職位,並在安全智庫網際網路安全中心(Center for Internet Security, CIS)工作。他的時間用於家庭、運動和教育。Timur認為他在家庭之外最大的成就是在2022年獲得的巴西柔術黑帶,他繼續將這項武術作為運動計劃的一部分。
這本書是Timur一直在撰寫的系統安全系列的一部分,也是他希望推廣健全安全實踐和在各種機構中系統性地建立這些實踐的平台。
