In a world, where cyber threats evolve daily, the line between hacker and hero is thinner than you think.

Hacking is often associated with cybercriminals lurking in the shadows, stealing data, and disrupting digital systems. But the reality of hacking is far more complex-and far more relevant to our everyday lives-than most people realize. The Future of Hacking explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and digital defense, revealing how hacking has transformed from an underground practice to a mainstream issue that affects governments, businesses, and individuals alike.

Drawing on years of research and over 30 in-depth interviews with cybersecurity professionals from around the world, including experts from San Francisco, Seoul, Cape Town, Paris, and Bengaluru, this book offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the people working to protect our digital future. From ethical hackers uncovering security vulnerabilities to policymakers shaping the rules of the digital world, The Future of Hacking sheds light on the critical role of cybersecurity in today's interconnected society.

This book delves into key issues such as cyber awareness, internet freedom, and the policies that shape how we navigate an increasingly digital world. It also highlights the experiences of those impacted by cybercrime-both victims and defenders-offering insight into the real-world consequences of data breaches, ransomware attacks, and digital surveillance.

Designed for both tech-savvy readers and those new to the subject, The Future of Hacking makes complex cybersecurity concepts accessible while maintaining the depth of expert knowledge. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and pervasive, understanding the evolving role of hacking is no longer optional-it's essential. This book will challenge what you think you know about hackers and leave you better prepared for the digital challenges of tomorrow.
