This year\u2019s induction to the Cybersecurity Canon Hall of Fame marks the beginning of a new era for this network-defender community project. We\u2019re proud to recognize the inductees for the 2019-20 season: five must-read cybersecurity books. At the same time, Palo Alto Networks, which has been the project\u2019s primary sponsor since it was started seven years ago, passes primary leadership of the project to The Ohio State University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Palo Alto Networks has supported the Cybersecurity Canon project since 2013, and Rick Howard chaired the Canon Committee from the beginning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Howard says, \u201cIt has been my great pleasure for the past six years to be the shepherd of the Cybersecurity Canon Project. For those who have met me or follow me on social media, you know that I love reading \u2013 any kind of reading really, but especially about cybersecurity. I got this crazy idea that we could create a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for cybersecurity books. The amazing thing is that Palo Alto Networks decided to sponsor it. Through the indulgence and support of some visionary Palo Alto Networks leaders and through the voluntary efforts of the various committee members over the years, we have built quite a substantial recommended cybersecurity library, essential books for all cybersecurity professionals that will make their education whole. I am very proud of this effort.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Altogether, the project has named 36 books to its Hall of Fame and published some<\/span> 90 book reviews<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Howard says, \u201cIt is time for a new organization to take on the mantle of supporting the Cybersecurity Canon Project. I am unable to contain my excitement that Ohio State University has stepped up to take on that role. My good friend Helen Patton, Ohio State University's CISO, will take over for me as committee chairman, and I can hardly wait to see how she shapes the project going forward.\u201d Howard intends to continue sharing his love of cybersecurity books, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about me. I will still be involved as a committee member for as long as Helen will have me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Patton and Ohio State University assume leadership of the Cybersecurity Canon Project<\/span><\/a> starting with its current 2020-21 season. She says, \u201cThe Cybersecurity Canon is <\/span>the<\/span><\/i> go-to resource for cybersecurity practitioners, providing a place to begin and expand learning. I am excited that Ohio\u2019s Institute for Cybersecurity and Digital Trust has agreed to support this terrific service. I\u2019m excited to see how OSU will grow the Canon to include other media and partners and use it to engage students and faculty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The inductees for the 2019-2020 season are:<\/span><\/p>\n
