This book was released on 2014-08-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intellectual Property Commission recently published a report on the theft of intellectual property and estimated that it costs the U.S. economy over $300 billion a year, which translates roughly to 2.1 million lost jobs. To put this in perspective, the IP Commission found that the total cost of cyber theft was comparable to the amount of U.S. exports to Asia. General Keith Alexander, the director of the National Security Agency, called cyber crime and the resulting loss of our intellectual property and technology to our competitors "the greatest transfer of wealth in U.S. history." The purpose of this hearing is to understand how this loss is happening, the cost to our country, and how companies and the U.S. government are responding to this threat. The witnesses today will explain the methods and tactics used to penetrate U.S. cyber systems and what China and other perpetrators do with the information they obtain through these attacks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to steal the intellectual property (IP) of others, be they creative individuals or company teams working in patent pools to create new innovations, remains the same. Political methods have become more sophisticated in terms of devaluing the output of creative humans by creating open- source access, which can be taken freely by all and sundry. What has changed is the new cyber- based technology that allows increased theft of IP. Likewise, warfare for geo- political imperatives is not new but sophisticated cyber- based methods that can actually carry out infrastructural damage through cyberspace are new and are accordingly termed cyberwarfare. How cyber strategies are used in IP theft and cyberwarfare in relation to new complex digital technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) is explored in relation to particular essential sectors in the economy: marine, smart energy power grids and insurance. Country- specifi c studies based on either being the recipient or perpetrator (or both) of cyberattacks provide analysis in relation to Japan, China and North Korea, Russia, Europe (the UK in particular), Iran and the USA.

Download or read book Chinese Cyber Economic Espionage written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alleged Chinese cyber economic espionage periodically fills headlines, Internet security company reports, Congressional hearing transcripts, and official (and semi-official) pronouncements. Despite the apparent recognition of a problem, the U.S. has been seemingly ineffective in deterring or dissuading continued Chinese cyber activity--despite the potential significant impact to economic and national security. While accurate calculations on the cost of stolen intellectual property to U.S. businesses are nearly impossible to determine, some estimates suggest hundreds of billions of dollars per year--independent of broader and more sinister implications for the future of U.S. competitiveness. Why China, apparently, believes it must steal at the expense of the United States, and why the United States has been unable to stem it, are crucial national security questions. An analysis of China's strategic ambitions, coupled with national policies designed to achieve them, illuminate possible answers. Similarly, an examination of the U.S. response during the Obama Administration highlights the interplay between policy development and the influence of domestic politics, corporate interests, and narratives.For the strategically compelling issue of cyberspace and Chinese economic espionage, the administration similarly seemed to wander. One of the most significant proclamations designed to inform the public about an alleged nexus between America's rising competitor and the widespread theft of corporate secrets came not from the government but instead, three years into the president's first term, from retired government officials (who, admittedly, were likely acting as proxies). In a January 2012 editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Vice Admiral (ret.) Mike McConnell (former Director of National Intelligence as well as Director of the National Security Agency), Michael Chertoff (former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security), and William Lynn (former Deputy Secretary of Defense) were clear: "The Chinese government has a national policy of economic espionage in cyberspace. In fact, the Chinese are the world's most active and persistent practitioners of cyber espionage today." The cost to the United States--in terms of competitiveness, innovation, dollars, and jobs--is "potentially catastrophic."An examination of how the United States has responded provides additional insights. Because cyber-enabled economic espionage has as its distinguishing feature cyberspace, which is neither exclusively public nor private, responses span political and social levels and are generally within the broader context of cybersecurity. Given that much of the publicly available debate of Chinese cyber economic espionage has occurred since President Obama assumed office, the chronology of government action between 2009-2015 highlights an incremental approach filled with tension. Recognizing the limits of executive action, particularly since economic espionage targets the private sector, the administration has sought legislation that would better enable cooperation between the government and businesses. Yet domestic politics, corporate interests, and a meandering narrative likely inhibited policies that would both improve U.S. cybersecurity (and therefore defense against cyber economic espionage) and change Chinese behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although every country seeks out information on other nations, China is the leading threat when it comes to the theft of intellectual assets, including inventions, patents, and R&D secrets. Trade Secret Theft, Industrial Espionage, and the China Threat provides an overview of economic espionage as practiced by a range of nations from around the world—focusing on the mass scale in which information is being taken for China's growth and development. Supplying a current look at espionage, the book details the specific types of information China has targeted for its collection efforts in the past. It explains what China does to prepare for its massive collection efforts and describes what has been learned about China's efforts during various Congressional hearings, with expert advice and details from both the FBI and other government agencies. This book is the product of hundreds of hours of research, with material, both primary and secondary, reviewed, studied, and gleaned from numerous sources, including White House documentation and various government agencies. Within the text, you will learn the rationale and techniques used to obtain information in the past. You will see a bit of history over centuries where espionage has played a role in the economy of various countries and view some cases that have come to light when individuals were caught. The book supplies an understanding of how the economy of a nation can prosper or suffer, depending on whether that nation is protecting its intellectual property, or whether it is stealing such property for its own use. The text concludes by outlining specific measures that corporations and their employees can practice to protect their information and assets, both at home and abroad.

Download or read book Chinese Industrial Espionage written by William C. Hannas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book is the first full account, inside or outside government, of China’s efforts to acquire foreign technology. Based on primary sources and meticulously researched, the book lays bare China’s efforts to prosper technologically through others' achievements. For decades, China has operated an elaborate system to spot foreign technologies, acquire them by all conceivable means, and convert them into weapons and competitive goods—without compensating the owners. The director of the US National Security Agency recently called it "the greatest transfer of wealth in history." Written by two of America's leading government analysts and an expert on Chinese cyber networks, this book describes these transfer processes comprehensively and in detail, providing the breadth and depth missing in other works. Drawing upon previously unexploited Chinese language sources, the authors begin by placing the new research within historical context, before examining the People’s Republic of China’s policy support for economic espionage, clandestine technology transfers, theft through cyberspace and its impact on the future of the US. This book will be of much interest to students of Chinese politics, Asian security studies, US defence, US foreign policy and IR in general.

This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American companies are renowned as being the most innovative in the world. Companies of every size and in every industry, from manufacturing to software to biotechnology to aerospace, own large portfolios of legally protected trade secrets they have developed and innovated. The theft of these secrets can lead to devastating consequences. The risk of trade secret theft has been around as long as there have been secrets to protect, but the methods used to steal trade secrets have become more sophisticated. Today, a criminal can steal all of the trade secrets a company owns from thousands of miles away. Many cyber attacks are the work of foreign governments. China and other nations now routinely steal from American businesses and give the secrets to their own companies. Companies now must confront the reality that they are being attacked on a daily basis by cyber criminals who are determined to steal their intellectual property. Attorney General Holder has observed, there are two kinds of companies in America: Those that have been hacked and those that do not know that they have been hacked.

Download or read book At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We depend on information and information technology (IT) to make many of our day-to-day tasks easier and more convenient. Computers play key roles in transportation, health care, banking, and energy. Businesses use IT for payroll and accounting, inventory and sales, and research and development. Modern military forces use weapons that are increasingly coordinated through computer-based networks. Cybersecurity is vital to protecting all of these functions. Cyberspace is vulnerable to a broad spectrum of hackers, criminals, terrorists, and state actors. Working in cyberspace, these malevolent actors can steal money, intellectual property, or classified information; impersonate law-abiding parties for their own purposes; damage important data; or deny the availability of normally accessible services. Cybersecurity issues arise because of three factors taken together - the presence of malevolent actors in cyberspace, societal reliance on IT for many important functions, and the presence of vulnerabilities in IT systems. What steps can policy makers take to protect our government, businesses, and the public from those would take advantage of system vulnerabilities? At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy offers a wealth of information on practical measures, technical and nontechnical challenges, and potential policy responses. According to this report, cybersecurity is a never-ending battle; threats will evolve as adversaries adopt new tools and techniques to compromise security. Cybersecurity is therefore an ongoing process that needs to evolve as new threats are identified. At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy is a call for action to make cybersecurity a public safety priority. For a number of years, the cybersecurity issue has received increasing public attention; however, most policy focus has been on the short-term costs of improving systems. In its explanation of the fundamentals of cybersecurity and the discussion of potential policy responses, this book will be a resource for policy makers, cybersecurity and IT professionals, and anyone who wants to understand threats to cyberspace.

Download or read book China s Quest for Foreign Technology written by William C. Hannas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes China’s foreign technology acquisition activity and how this has helped its rapid rise to superpower status. Since 1949, China has operated a vast and unique system of foreign technology spotting and transfer aimed at accelerating civilian and military development, reducing the cost of basic research, and shoring up its power domestically and abroad—without running the political risks borne by liberal societies as a basis for their creative developments. While discounted in some circles as derivative and consigned to perpetual catch-up mode, China’s "hybrid" system of legal, illegal, and extralegal import of foreign technology, combined with its indigenous efforts, is, the authors believe, enormously effective and must be taken seriously. Accordingly, in this volume, 17 international specialists combine their scholarship to portray the system’s structure and functioning in heretofore unseen detail, using primary Chinese sources to demonstrate the perniciousness of the problem in a manner not likely to be controverted. The book concludes with a series of recommendations culled from the authors’ interactions with experts worldwide. This book will be of much interest to students of Chinese politics, US foreign policy, intelligence studies, science and technology studies, and International Relations in general.

Download or read book Cybercrime written by Congressional Research Congressional Research Service and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-first century criminals increasingly rely on the Internet and advanced technologies to further their criminal operations. These criminals can easily leverage the Internet to carry out traditional crimes such as distributing illicit drugs and sex trafficking. In addition, they exploit the digital world to facilitate crimes that are often technology driven, including identity theft, payment card fraud, and intellectual property theft. Cybercrimes have economic, public health, and national security implications, among others. For over three decades, Congress has been concerned about cybercrime and its related threats. Today, these concerns often arise among a larger discussion surrounding the federal government's role in ensuring U.S. cyber security. Conceptualizing cybercrime involves a number of key elements and questions that include where do the criminal acts exist in the real and digital worlds (and what technologies are involved in carrying out the crimes), why are malicious activities initiated, and who is involved in carrying out the malicious acts?
