Download or read book Internet Kill Switch written by Catherine Dumont and published by MB Cooltura. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Internet Kill Switch", as it is known worldwide, is a protective "countermeasure". It is the ability of governments to restrict or directly block access to the Internet: turn off all servers and connections. Considering all that the Internet entails in our daily lives, it is an extremely powerful weapon. Some consider it as a key tool for national security, allowing governments to respond immediately in times of crisis or cyber-attacks. Others fear a potential abuse of authority, claiming that it infringes on civil liberties and democratic values. Is it possible to implement this measure as a global reconfiguration, and why would it be done?
Download or read book Lights Out written by Ted Koppel and published by Crown. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America’s power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the United States is shockingly unprepared. “Fascinating, frightening, and beyond timely.”—Anderson Cooper Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to a generator, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before. It isn’t just a scenario. A well-designed attack on just one of the nation’s three electric power grids could cripple much of our infrastructure—and in the age of cyberwarfare, a laptop has become the only necessary weapon. Several nations hostile to the United States could launch such an assault at any time. In fact, as a former chief scientist of the NSA reveals, China and Russia have already penetrated the grid. And a cybersecurity advisor to President Obama believes that independent actors—from “hacktivists” to terrorists—have the capability as well. “It’s not a question of if,” says Centcom Commander General Lloyd Austin, “it’s a question of when.” And yet, as Koppel makes clear, the federal government, while well prepared for natural disasters, has no plan for the aftermath of an attack on the power grid. The current Secretary of Homeland Security suggests keeping a battery-powered radio. In the absence of a government plan, some individuals and communities have taken matters into their own hands. Among the nation’s estimated three million “preppers,” we meet one whose doomsday retreat includes a newly excavated three-acre lake, stocked with fish, and a Wyoming homesteader so self-sufficient that he crafted the thousands of adobe bricks in his house by hand. We also see the unrivaled disaster preparedness of the Mormon church, with its enormous storehouses, high-tech dairies, orchards, and proprietary trucking company—the fruits of a long tradition of anticipating the worst. But how, Koppel asks, will ordinary civilians survive? With urgency and authority, one of our most renowned journalists examines a threat unique to our time and evaluates potential ways to prepare for a catastrophe that is all but inevitable.

Outside, the boundaries between lawful and criminal behaviour break down as resources become scarce. With the threat to their safety growing, Mike and his family pin their hopes on fleeing the city for the countryside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, cyberspace has emerged as a domain of its own, in many ways like land, sea and air. Even if a nation is small in land area, low in GDP per capita, low in resources, less important in geopolitics, low in strength of armed forces, it can become a military super power if it is capable of launching a cyber-attack on critical infrastructures of any other nation including superpowers and crumble that nation. In fact cyber space redefining our security assumptions and defense strategies. This book explains the current cyber threat landscape and discusses the strategies being used by governments and corporate sectors to protect Critical Infrastructure (CI) against these threats.
Download or read book How Do You Prepare for the Unexpected Cyber Attack written by Stuart Madnick and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last fall, in Northern California, the United States experienced its first ever deliberate large-scale and long-lasting blackout. Fueled by fears of increased devastating fires due to its century-old equipment, the region's utility company shut off power to more than 1.5 million people forcing many evacuations. The impact was devastating; Michael Wara, a climate and energy expert at Stanford University, estimated the cost to California as up to $2.5 billion. For cybersecurity experts like myself, the blackout was a signal of just how precarious our reliance on electricity is, and how much we have to fear in cyberattacks. Think about what would happen if a cyberattack brought down the power grid in New York or even just a larger part of the country. As we saw in California, people could manage for a few hours -- maybe a few days -- but what would happen if the outage lasted for a week or more? If a larger population was targeted with a cyberattack on a utility, is an evacuation of millions of people feasible or desirable?
