Produktbeschreibung

From 9/11 to Charlie Hebdo along with Sony-pocalypse and DARPA's $2 million Cyber Grand Challenge, this book examines counterterrorism and cyber security history, strategies and technologies from a thought-provoking approach that encompasses personal experiences, investigative journalism, historical and current events, ideas from thought leaders and the make-believe of Hollywood such as 24, Homeland and The Americans. President Barack Obama also said in his 2015 State of the Union address, "We are making sure our government integrates intelligence to combat cyber threats, just as we have done to combat terrorism.

In this new edition, there are seven completely new chapters, including three new contributed chapters by healthcare chief information security officer Ray Balut and Jean C. Stanford, DEF CON speaker Philip Polstra and security engineer and Black Hat speaker Darren Manners, as well as new commentaries by communications expert Andy Marken and DEF CON speaker Emily Peed.

The book offers practical advice for businesses, governments and individuals to better secure the world and protect cyberspace.

Rezensionen

"The author of Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness presents in this new book a timely, informative, and interesting discussion of cybersecurity and cyberterrorism. Easily read and generally nonpartisan, this book should be on the reading list of anyone thinking about the broad policy issues and trends surrounding data mining, privacy, and cyberwarfare. ... The book presents a crisp narrative on common cyber attacks that currently occur and discusses how business and government may protect against these attacks. ... The narrative is certainly full of detail, but it moves along briskly in a compelling fashion that makes it hard to put down. ... The author views terrorism as a disease that may be cured through education and communication. ... The book concludes with the optimistic view that people want peace, and that social media provides opportunities for achieving this. ... The book is a relevant, useful, and genial mix of history, current times, practical advice, and policy goals." (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, July, 2013)

"Very professional and well researched." (Eleanor Clift, Newsweek and The Daily Beast, July, 2013)
