You Can Write an Infosec Book!

Reportedly, 81 percent of people want to write a book, and that number may be even higher in infosec as the field is rapidly evolving. And although almost any of us can, very few will.

In this talk we cover how to write a book, what to write about, options to get it published, and how to get people to read it so that it matters.
