Ask HN: Best resources to learn about security for non-technical person

5 points by yousifa 9y ago ↗ HN

A friend who works in sales at Cylance wants to learn more about her field. She is non-technical and wants a general understanding of what their products to and how they do it. I haven't found resources that are not meant for technical readers. Any ideas?

What they do using ML:

-Intrusion detection

-Antivirus

-Malware detection

Ask her if she has tried asking someone in sales for their C-Level presentation/slide deck

Can't help with security specific stuff, but the following helped me better understand ML (note: I am 'technical'. But I think it's an approachable explanation of the topic)
