Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know® de Peter W. Singer

Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know®

Autor Peter W. Singer, Allan Friedman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 ian 2014

Considerăm că actualizarea perspectivei asupra spațiului cibernetic este esențială într-o eră în care infrastructura critică depinde în totalitate de rețele. Cybersecurity and Cyberwar reușește să transforme un subiect tehnic, adesea tratat în termeni de science-fiction, într-o analiză riguroasă a realității politice și militare actuale. Remarcăm structura pragmatică a volumului, care refuză jargonul excesiv în favoarea unei clarități necesare liderilor de business, juriștilor și ofițerilor de armată.

Autorii Peter W. Singer și Allan Friedman abordează securitatea informatică prin prisma a trei piloni: mecanismele de funcționare, miza strategică și soluțiile practice. Merită menționat că textul nu se limitează la teorie, ci explorează cazuri care au definit ultimul deceniu, de la complexitatea virusului Stuxnet până la emergența grupărilor precum Anonymous. Pe linia practică a volumului Cyber Warfare de Paul Rosenzweig, dar cu focus pe dimensiunea de securitate națională și politici publice, această lucrare din seria What Everyone Needs To Know® oferă instrumentele necesare pentru a înțelege cum conflictele s-au mutat din planul fizic în cel digital.

Analiza lor asupra noilor divizii cibernetice din cadrul armatelor SUA și Chinei oferă o perspectivă tehnică asupra modului în care s-a schimbat doctrina militară. De asemenea, autorii integrează aspecte esențiale de etică și legislație, oferind un tablou complet al provocărilor secolului XXI. Este o resursă care documentează modul în care internetul a devenit un câmp de luptă pentru spionaj, sabotaj și influență geopolitică.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte oricărui profesionist care dorește să înțeleagă arhitectura securității digitale fără a fi expert în programare. Cititorul câștigă o viziune de ansamblu asupra riscurilor cibernetice moderne și a modului în care acestea afectează atât viața personală, cât și securitatea statală. Este un ghid esențial pentru a naviga între amenințările reale și cele exagerate de presă.

Descriere

A generation ago, "cyberspace" was just a term from science fiction, used to describe the nascent network of computers linking a few university labs. Today, our entire modern way of life, from communication to commerce to conflict, fundamentally depends on the Internet. And the cybersecurity issues that result challenge literally everyone: politicians wrestling with everything from cybercrime to online freedom; generals protecting the nation from new forms of attack, while planning newcyberwars; business executives defending firms from once unimaginable threats, and looking to make money off of them; lawyers and ethicists building new frameworks for right and wrong. Most of all, cybersecurity issues affect us as individuals. We face new questions in everything from our rights andresponsibilities as citizens of both the online and real world to simply how to protect ourselves and our families from a new type of danger. And, yet there is perhaps no issue that has grown so important, so quickly, and that touches so many, that remains so poorly understood. In Cybersecurity and CyberWar: What Everyone Needs to Know, New York Times best-selling author P. W. Singer and noted cyber expert Allan Friedman team up to provide the kind of easy-to-read, yet deeply informative resource book that has been missing on this crucial issue of 21st century life. Written in a lively, accessible style, filled with engaging stories and illustrative anecdotes, the book is structured around the key question areas of cyberspace and its security: how it allworks, why it all matters, and what can we do? Along the way, they take readers on a tour of the important (and entertaining) issues and characters of cybersecurity, from the "Anonymous" hacker group and the Stuxnet computer virus to the new cyber units of the Chinese and US militaries. Cybersecurity andCyberWar: What Everyone Needs to Know is the definitive account on the subject for us all, which comes not a moment too soon.

Recenzii

I loved this book. Wow. Until I read this astonishing and important book, I didn't know how much I didn't know about the hidden world of cybersecurity and cyberwar. Singer and Friedman make comprehensible an impossibly complex subject, and expose the frightening truth of just how vulnerable we are. Understanding these often-invisible threats to our personal and national security is a necessary first step toward defending ourselves against them. This is an essentialread.
This is the most approachable and readable book ever written on the cyber world. The authors have distilled the key facts and policy, provided sensible recommendations, and opened the debate generally to any informed citizen: a singular achievement. A must read for practitioners and scholars alike.
In confronting the cybersecurity problem, it's important for all of us to become knowledgeable and involved. This book makes that possible -- and also fascinating. It's everything you need to know about cybersecurity, wonderfully presented in a clear and smart way."
If you read only one book about 'all this cyberstuff,' make it this one. Singer and Friedman know how to make even the most complicated material accessible and even entertaining, while at the same time making a powerful case for why all of us need to know more and think harder about the (cyber)world we know live in."
Singer and Friedman do a highly credible job of documenting the present and likely future risky state of cyber-affairs. This is a clarion call."
