The Cybersecurity Canon Hall of Fame, founded by former Palo Alto Networks CISO Rick Howard and curated by leading information security professionals, celebrates the must-read books in cybersecurity. It serves as the definitive guide for anyone seeking essential reading on topics like information security, privacy, risk management, and beyond.

​

Throughout the year, book reviews are crowdsourced from the cybersecurity community and supplemented by a volunteer committee of experts. Each review determines whether a book merits nomination for the Cybersecurity Canon or the prestigious Hall of Fame. Annually, the committee evaluates these nominations, selecting a few exceptional titles for Hall of Fame status.

​

To achieve Hall of Fame recognition, a book must meet rigorous criteria. It must provide deep insights into a cybersecurity topic, reference historical events and themes, and offer forward-looking implications for the field. In short, it must be essential reading for aspiring cybersecurity experts. The Cybersecurity Canon Gala celebrates those current and past Hall of Fame honorees in a room full of the top minds in security.

​

This year's event will be held in Washington DC, April 3rd!
