Returning to a Classic: Ross Anderson’s Security Engineering
A brief note to open my series of reflections on one of cybersecurity’s foundational books.

Amid the flood of cybersecurity books, the late Ross Anderson’s Security Engineering remains a classic — worth returning to, again and again. It’s an incredible resource for anyone serious about understanding how real systems fail and how they can be built to last.
Did you know it’s available online for free, neatly divided into chapters? Super convenient.

It’s full of insights — some obvious, some less so (at least to me). I’ll try to share a few of these gems in the coming weeks.
