Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author draws inspiration from Sun Tzu's Art of War, a work that explains conflict between nations, and he applies this to the computer security setting, examining how we should consider protecting information systems from accidents or malicious attacks. The author first briefly introduces Sun Tzu. Then each chapter in the book takes its inspiration from an original title in The Art of War, where the author offers a general introduction to the content and then describes its application in a cybersecurity setting. These chapters cover estimates; waging war; offensive strategy; how you prepare for an attack; energy; weaknesses and strengths; the variables that need consideration before embarking on a war; how infrastructure is related to the concept of ground; attack by fire or how skilled attackers hide behind noise; and employing secret agents. The book will be interesting for computer security researchers and professionals who would like some grounding in a security mindset.
Download or read book The Art of War of Cybersecurity written by Thomas Reynolds and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We have to learn to think like the attackers" is often said by people concerned about computing security. But more important is, simply, to have a clear mind and to think clearly, whether planning for security or facing an active cyber threat. Though computing and cybersecurity are profoundly modern, both clear thinking and security are old topics. The original Art of War, Sun Tzu's art of military affairs, is still widely read after more than 2000 years. René Descartes' writings about clear thinking are still current after almost four centuries. The author has combined these old approaches in a contemporary handbook targeted at systems administrators but useful also to anyone concerned about managing or practicing secure computing. It is a guide to the core of computing security and information security. More information can be found at http://www.pair.com/cogitage. URL: http://www.trafford.com/07-1219

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Sun Tzu were alive today, rather than in the fifth century BC, he would be on various stages and his strategies would be all the rage for individuals and organizations alike.

Sienkiewicz brings his strategic and practical experience to bear as he uses the timeless strategies from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War in this highly relevant and exceptionally approachable guidebook. From a technology-independent perspective, Henry focuses on knowing and understanding cyber, the cyber environment, the cyber actors, and this constantly evolving form of modern conflict, while concurrently providing direct approaches to recognize, remediate, and resolve the underlying threats. “A thought-provoking and earnest view of the current cyber landscape from the classic construct of Sun Tzu. I anticipate it soon will be a key text for War College students as they explore cyber risk management strategies.”

Book excerpt: The information superhighway promised to connect the world's people. After thirty years we find governments, criminals, hacktivists, and amateurs using this man-made domain to attack other governments, defense contractors, commercial businesses, national infrastructures and social media. Public and private organizations spend billions of dollars struggling to defend themselves. Yet attacks continue.A lack of understanding the complexities of cyberspace and the nature of the conflict has led to a field based on myth, metaphor and wishful thinking. National leaders, corporate board members and executives, information security professionals, and average citizens should be concerned about the threats we face in cyberspace. Using clear English, "The Art of Cyberwar" describes the digital battlefield and the principles for conducting defensive and destructive operations. It provides the reader insights into the complexities and principles for maneuvering in the digital domain. This easy-to-understand book establishes a dialog with the reader, laying out the complexities of cyberspace in a clear and understandable way. It then establishes the eight principles that make up the conflict in cyberspace. "The Art of Cyberwar" is essential for anyone concerned about the threats in cyberspace and the Internet. Lieutenant Colonel Mike VanPutte, PhD (US Army Retired) and Major Tom Sammel (US Marine Corps Retired) have more than forty years of experience leading kinetic and cyber operations. They worked side-by-side with intelligence, law enforcement and commercial cyber operators. Their careers turned two decades ago from kinetic warfare to the threats from cyberspace. They have been at the forefront of responding to and repelling the most sophisticated attacks from foreign nations, cybercriminals, and other cyber-threats. They are preeminent experts in cyberwarfare.

Book excerpt: Richard A. Clarke warned America once before about the havoc terrorism would wreak on our national security—and he was right. Now he warns us of another threat, silent but equally dangerous. Cyber War is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. It explains clearly and convincingly what cyber war is, how cyber weapons work, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. This is the first book about the war of the future—cyber war—and a convincing argument that we may already be in peril of losing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to understanding and analyzing cyber attacks by advanced attackers, such as nation states. Cyber attacks are no longer the domain of petty criminals. Today, companies find themselves targeted by sophisticated nation state attackers armed with the resources to craft scarily effective campaigns. This book is a detailed guide to understanding the major players in these cyber wars, the techniques they use, and the process of analyzing their advanced attacks. Whether you’re an individual researcher or part of a team within a Security Operations Center (SoC), you’ll learn to approach, track, and attribute attacks to these advanced actors. The first part of the book is an overview of actual cyber attacks conducted by nation-state actors and other advanced organizations. It explores the geopolitical context in which the attacks took place, the patterns found in the attackers’ techniques, and the supporting evidence analysts used to attribute such attacks. Dive into the mechanisms of: North Korea’s series of cyber attacks against financial institutions, which resulted in billions of dollars stolen The world of targeted ransomware attacks, which have leveraged nation state tactics to cripple entire corporate enterprises with ransomware Recent cyber attacks aimed at disrupting or influencing national elections globally The book’s second part walks through how defenders can track and attribute future attacks. You’ll be provided with the tools, methods, and analytical guidance required to dissect and research each stage of an attack campaign. Here, Jon DiMaggio demonstrates some of the real techniques he has employed to uncover crucial information about the 2021 Colonial Pipeline attacks, among many other advanced threats. He now offers his experience to train the next generation of expert analysts.

Download or read book Dark Territory written by Fred Kaplan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An important, disturbing, and gripping history” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), the never-before-told story of the computer scientists and the NSA, Pentagon, and White House policymakers who invent and employ cyber wars—where every country can be a major power player and every hacker a mass destroyer. In June 1983, President Reagan watched the movie War Games, in which a teenager unwittingly hacks the Pentagon, and asked his top general if the scenario was plausible. The general said it was. This set in motion the first presidential directive on computer security. From the 1991 Gulf War to conflicts in Haiti, Serbia, Syria, the former Soviet republics, Iraq, and Iran, where cyber warfare played a significant role, Dark Territory chronicles a little-known past that shines an unsettling light on our future. Fred Kaplan probes the inner corridors of the National Security Agency, the beyond-top-secret cyber units in the Pentagon, the “information warfare” squads of the military services, and the national security debates in the White House to reveal the details of the officers, policymakers, scientists, and spies who devised this new form of warfare and who have been planning—and (more often than people know) fighting—these wars for decades. “An eye-opening history of our government’s efforts to effectively manage our national security in the face of the largely open global communications network established by the World Wide Web….Dark Territory is a page-turner [and] consistently surprising” (The New York Times).

Download or read book Cyber Security and Threat Politics written by Myriam Dunn Cavelty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the political process behind the construction of cyber-threats as one of the quintessential security threats of modern times in the US. Myriam Dunn Cavelty posits that cyber-threats are definable by their unsubstantiated nature. Despite this, they have been propelled to the forefront of the political agenda. Using an innovative theoretical approach, this book examines how, under what conditions, by whom, for what reasons, and with what impact cyber-threats have been moved on to the political agenda. In particular, it analyses how governments have used threat frames, specific interpretive schemata about what counts as a threat or risk and how to respond to this threat. By approaching this subject from a security studies angle, this book closes a gap between practical and theoretical academic approaches. It also contributes to the more general debate about changing practices of national security and their implications for the international community.
