This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Centre for the Protection of Critical National Infrastructure and the UK Cyber Security Strategy include in their definition of critical national infrastructure (CNI) communications, emergency services, energy, finance, food, government and public services, health, transport and water. Taking this definition as its starting point, this report asks whether the various agencies, bodies and individuals involved recognize the significance of the cyber stakeholder status that has been conferred upon them. How do these organizations identify and measure their cyber dependencies, and how well and systematically do they manage the risks and mitigate the potential vulnerabilities associated with these dependencies?

This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain telecommunications networks are a critical element of the UK's infrastructure, "the loss or compromise of which would have a major, detrimental impact on the availability or integrity of essential services, leading to sever economic or social consequences …" In the UK the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) is now largely in the hands of private enterprises. There is potentially a conflict between the commercial imperative and national security. In 2003 BT, which is responsible for large parts of the UK's telecommunications structure, embarked on a major £10bn rationalisation and upgrade project (the 21st Century Network). A number of companies were selected to supply the various equipment required, one of which was Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company. A contract for supply of transmission and access equipment, including routers, was signed in 2005, with this being deployed across the network from January 2007. Most of the concerns surrounding Huawei relate to its perceived links to the Chinese State. Huawei denies direct links with the Chinese Government or military, though the Committee notes that such links are considered normal in China. Huawei has also invested in the Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (the Cell), and the Committee is concerned that a Hauwei-run Cell is responsible for providing assurance about Huawei products. The National Security Adviser should review the effectiveness of the Cell as a matter of urgency and GCHQ must have greater oversight. The risk to the CNI must be managed properly: alerts for foreign investment in CNI; risk assessment; ministers must be informed.
Download or read book Cyberwarfare written by Kristan Stoddart and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed examination of the threats and dangers facing the West at the far end of the cybersecurity spectrum. It concentrates on threats to critical infrastructure which includes major public utilities. It focusses on the threats posed by the two most potent adversaries/competitors to the West, Russia and China, whilst considering threats posed by Iran and North Korea. The arguments and themes are empirically driven but are also driven by the need to evolve the nascent debate on cyberwarfare and conceptions of ‘cyberwar’. This book seeks to progress both conceptions and define them more tightly. This accessibly written book speaks to those interested in cybersecurity, international relations and international security, law, criminology, psychology as well as to the technical cybersecurity community, those in industry, governments, policing, law making and law enforcement, and in militaries (particularly NATO members).
Download or read book Cyber Resilience in Critical Infrastructure written by Sinan Küfeoğlu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical infrastructure sectors are those whose assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, are deemed so important to nations that their incapacitation or destruction would have a crippling effect on national security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of these. Each country might define their unique critical infrastructure. In this book, we compiled nine critical infrastructure sectors: Emergency Services, Energy, Finance, Food, Government, Health, Telecommunications, Transport, and Water. The continuity of services in these sectors is vital for the daily lives of societies and economies. This study introduces 49 case studies from various parts of the world. This book investigates Cyber Resilience in Critical Infrastructure by paying attention to recommending a national-level cyber resilience framework for all nations to use. Furthermore, we present sectoral analysis and case studies for each infrastructure by going through an in-depth analysis. As military tensions grow in many parts of the world, nations are alarmed and focused on their national cyber resilience, especially the reliability of their critical infrastructure. We believe this book will be a popular reference and guidebook for a wide range of readers worldwide, from governments to policymakers, from industry to the finance sector, and many others.
Download or read book Addressing Urgent Cyber Threats to Critical Infrastructure written by Department of Homeland Security and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-03 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our review of hundreds of studies and interviews with 38 cyber and industry experts revealed an echo chamber, loudly reverberating what needs to be done to secure critical U.S. infrastructure against aggressive and targeted cyber attacks. Cyber is the sole arena where private companies are the front line of defense in a nation-state attack on U.S. infrastructure. When a cyber attack can deliver the same damage or consequences as a kinetic attack, it requires national leadership and close coordination of our collective resources, capabilities, and authorities. The National Security Council (NSC) tasked the President's National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) with examining how Federal authorities and capabilities can best be applied to support cybersecurity of high-risk assets. We reviewed a comprehensive dataset of more than 140 Federal capabilities and authorities, demonstrating impressive depth and complexity of Federal resources. We believe the U.S. government and private sector collectively have the tremendous cyber capabilities and resources needed to defend critical private systems from aggressive cyber attacks-provided they are properly organized, harnessed, and focused. Today, we're falling short. NIAC details 11 recommendations. The first is perhaps the most innovative: Establish SEPARATE, SECURE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS specifically designated for the most critical cyber networks, including "dark fiber" networks for critical control system traffic and reserved spectrum for backup communications during emergencies.

This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of large-scale cyber-attacks on the internet has moved up the international agenda recently. This inquiry looks at how States and their major organisations can defend themselves and their critical information infrastructures (CIIs) against such attacks. Whilst individual States bear primary responsibility for their critical national infrastructure (CNI), the infrastructures are heavily interdependent. The Internet is a 'global network of networks' and individual States cannot be viewed in isolation. The Committee therefore concludes that continuing intervention at EU level was appropriate and that all Member States have an interest in bringing the defences of the least protected up. The Committee also looked at ENISA, the European Network and Information Security Agency, and they believe that with a widening of its mandate it can play a more significant part in the developments envisaged.
Download or read book Cyber Security Culture written by Peter Trim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on countermeasures against orchestrated cyber-attacks, Cyber Security Culture is research-based and reinforced with insights from experts who do not normally release information into the public arena. It will enable managers of organizations across different industrial sectors and government agencies to better understand how organizational learning and training can be utilized to develop a culture that ultimately protects an organization from attacks. Peter Trim and David Upton believe that the speed and complexity of cyber-attacks demand a different approach to security management, including scenario-based planning and training, to supplement security policies and technical protection systems. The authors provide in-depth understanding of how organizational learning can produce cultural change addressing the behaviour of individuals, as well as machines. They provide information to help managers form policy to prevent cyber intrusions, to put robust security systems and procedures in place and to arrange appropriate training interventions such as table top exercises. Guidance embracing current and future threats and addressing issues such as social engineering is included. Although the work is embedded in a theoretical framework, non-technical staff will find the book of practical use because it renders highly technical subjects accessible and links firmly with areas beyond ICT, such as human resource management - in relation to bridging the education/training divide and allowing organizational learning to be embraced. This book will interest Government officials, policy advisors, law enforcement officers and senior managers within companies, as well as academics and students in a range of disciplines including management and computer science.
