CyBOK Chapters

These are the chapters of the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) that CS 331 assigns, as web pages. They read better than the PDF (Portable Document Format) on a phone, and they work with a screen reader, since the PDF has no tags for headings, tables or reading order.

The text is the book's own, word for word. Every figure has a written description, every table is a real table, the math is real math, and each chapter ends with the references it cites. Section numbers match the PDF, so a reading like §10.4 is the same section here.

Chapter	Knowledge area
1	Introduction
2	Risk Management & Governance
3	Law & Regulation, Part 1 (§3.1-3.7) and Part 2 (§3.8-3.14)
4	Human Factors
5	Privacy & Online Rights
6	Malware & Attack Technologies
7	Adversarial Behaviours
8	Security Operations & Incident Management
10	Cryptography
14	Authentication, Authorisation & Accountability
15	Software Security
16	Web & Mobile Security
17	Secure Software Lifecycle
18	Applied Cryptography
19	Network Security

The rest of the book is in the complete PDF. If something here doesn't match the PDF, the PDF wins, so let me know and I will fix the page.

Where it comes from

These chapters are from CyBOK Version 1.2.0, edited by Awais Rashid, Yulia Cherdantseva, Andrew Martin and Steve Schneider. © Crown Copyright, The National Cyber Security Centre 2026, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The pages are made from the PDF by a script, scripts/cybok/convert.py in the course site's repository. The figure descriptions and tables are separate files written from the PDF, since a script can't describe a figure.
