Every day, thousands of attempts are made to hack into America's critical infrastructure. These attacks, if successful, could have devastating consequences.
Surviving Cyberwar examines in depth the major recent cyber attacks that have taken place in the United States and around the world including a discussion of the 2016 election. This book discusses the implications of such attacks, and offers solutions to the vulnerabilities that made these attacks possible. Through investigations of the most significant and damaging cyber attacks, the author introduces the reader to cyberwar, outlines an effective defense against cyber threats, and explains how to prepare for future attacks.
This text is a stimulating and informative look at one of the gravest threats to Homeland Security today, offering new insights to technologists on the front lines, helping policy makers understand the challenges they face, and providing guidance for every organization to help reduce exposure to cyber threats. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with the current geopolitical state of affairs.
