Fixing American Cybersecurity by Larry Clinton Pdf

Advocates a cybersecurity “social contract” between government and business in seven key economic sectors Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the United States are extensive, affecting everything from national security and democratic elections to critical infrastructure and economy. In the past decade, the number of cyberattacks against American targets has increased exponentially, and their impact has been more costly than ever before. A successful cyber-defense can only be mounted with the cooperation of both the government and the private sector, and only when individual corporate leaders integrate cybersecurity strategy throughout their organizations. A collaborative effort of the Board of Directors of the Internet Security Alliance, Fixing American Cybersecurity is divided into two parts. Part One analyzes why the US approach to cybersecurity has been inadequate and ineffective for decades and shows how it must be transformed to counter the heightened systemic risks that the nation faces today. Part Two explains in detail the cybersecurity strategies that should be pursued by each major sector of the American economy: health, defense, financial services, utilities and energy, retail, telecommunications, and information technology. Fixing American Cybersecurity will benefit industry leaders, policymakers, and business students. This book is essential reading to prepare for the future of American cybersecurity.

Fixing American Cybersecurity by Larry Clinton Pdf

"Incentivizing Cybersecurity goes beyond books that simply describe cybersecurity technology or law to provide a coherent and comprehensive explanation of why we are making so little progress in addressing the threat, and it lays out a specific path to address the threat in a new, more effective fashion. The book calls for a new market-based "social contract" between the public and private sectors. Since virtually every aspect of modern life is dependent on these cyber systems, cybersecurity is everybody's issue. It should be required reading for both industry and government leaders, as well as cybersecurity practitioners. The book is a collaborative effort of the Board of Directors of the Internet Security Alliance. Each author is a recognized expert in cybersecurity typically with substantial frontline responsibility for addressing the most sophisticated cyber attackers. Taken together, these authors bring elite-level cybersecurity expertise into one coherent volume"--

Effective Cybersecurity Operations for Enterprise-Wide Systems by Adedoyin, Festus Fatai,Christiansen, Bryan Pdf

Cybersecurity, or information technology security (I/T security), is the protection of computer systems and networks from information disclosure; theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data; as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The field is becoming increasingly critical due to the continuously expanding reliance on computer systems, the internet, wireless network standards such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and the growth of "smart" devices, which constitute the internet of things (IoT). Cybersecurity is also one of the significant challenges in the contemporary world, due to its complexity, both in terms of political usage and technology. Its primary goal is to ensure the dependability, integrity, and data privacy of enterprise-wide systems in an era of increasing cyberattacks from around the world. Effective Cybersecurity Operations for Enterprise-Wide Systems examines current risks involved in the cybersecurity of various systems today from an enterprise-wide perspective. While there are multiple sources available on cybersecurity, many publications do not include an enterprise-wide perspective of the research. The book provides such a perspective from multiple sources that include investigation into critical business systems such as supply chain management, logistics, ERP, CRM, knowledge management, and others. Covering topics including cybersecurity in international business, risk management, artificial intelligence, social engineering, spyware, decision support systems, encryption, cyber-attacks and breaches, ethical hacking, transaction support systems, phishing, and data privacy, it is designed for educators, IT developers, education professionals, education administrators, researchers, security analysts, systems engineers, software security engineers, security professionals, policymakers, and students.

The Cyber Conundrum by Peter K. Chronis Pdf

The 2016 presidential election was chaotic for many reasons. Perhaps the most troubling was news that a foreign power used new cyberwarfare tactics to influence our views and skew the election. These new revelations come to light as many grow weary of a new reality where hackers always seem to be one step ahead of us. Author Peter K. Chronis claims we need a "moonshot" to bolster our cybersecurity-an astonishing achievement on the scale of wiping out polio, defeating the Nazis, or landing on the moon. The author uses inspiration and lessons from these other complex "moonshots" as a guide to help us develop a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Written with a nontechnical audience in mind, The Cyber Conundrum examines the many flaws in global cybersecurity strategy and proposes solutions the tech industry, governments, and companies need to explore to address fundamental cybersecurity challenges. Without fundamental change, our democratic institutions, the critical services we rely on every day (electricity, communications, financial institutions and more), and the free flow of information are in jeopardy-making this an issue important to everyone.

The Unhackable Internet by Thomas P. Vartanian Pdf

Like most aspects of modern existence, more and more of our financial lives have migrated to the digital realm. With the benefits of ease that our Internet allows us, that transition also raises numerous – and dangerous – threats to national security, our money, and the systems we use to store and transfer it. In TheUnhackable Internet, financial services and technology expert Thomas P. Vartanian exposes the vulnerabilities of the many networks that we rely on today as well as the threats facing the integrity of our national security and financial services sector. From cyberattacks by foreign adversaries like China and Russia, the explosion of cryptocurrency, the advancement of ransomware, phishing, surveillance apps, spying software, and logic bombs, along with the increasing savvy and daring shown by Internet hackers, the next financial panic is likely to be delivered to us through use or abuse of technology. The Unhackable Internet describes how society can remake an Internet that was never conceived as a secure environment and badly tainted by the original sin of substandard coding. Vartanian argues for increasing the use of private and offline network infrastructures, controlling the ownership of Internet infrastructure, and imposing enhanced authentication, governance, and enforcement standards. This online universe would look more like our analog lives, authenticating all digital traffic to a real person and removing any virtual traveler that violated the new rules of the road. The Unhackable Internet poses a challenge to America: take the lead and create a coalition of democratic nations to implement financial cyber strategies or be left with no counterweight short of military power to respond to those who weaponize technology. This comprehensive and compelling book makes it clear that nothing less than the control of global economies is up for grabs, and that how we use technology is our choice.

Why American Elections Are Flawed (And How to Fix Them) by Pippa Norris Pdf

The flaws in the American electoral process have become increasingly apparent in recent years. The contemporary tipping point in public awareness occurred during the 2000 election count, and concern deepened due to several major problems observed in the 2016 campaign, worsening party polarization, and corroding public trust in the legitimacy of the outcome.To gather evidence about the quality of elections around the world, in 2012 the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP) was established as an independent research project based at Harvard and Sydney universities. The results show that experts rated American elections as the worst among all Western democracies. Without reform, these problems risk damaging the legitimacy of American elections—further weakening public confidence in political parties, Congress, and the U.S. government, depressing voter turnout, and exacerbating the risks of mass protests.Why American Elections Are Flawed describes several major challenges observed during the 2016 U.S. elections arising from deepening party polarization over basic voting procedures, the serious risks of hacking and weak cyber-security, the consequences of deregulating campaign spending, and lack of professional and impartial electoral management. Pippa Norris outlines the core concept and measure of electoral integrity, the key yardstick used to evaluate free and fair elections. Evidence from expert and mass surveys demonstrate the extent of problems in American elections. She shows how these challenges could be addressed through several practical steps designed to improve electoral procedures and practices. If implemented, the reforms will advance free and fair elections, and liberal democracy, at home and abroad.

SCADA Security - What's broken and how to fix it by Andrew Ginter Pdf

Modern attacks routinely breach SCADA networks that are defended to IT standards. This is unacceptable. Defense in depth has failed us. In ""SCADA Security"" Ginter describes this failure and describes an alternative. Strong SCADA security is possible, practical, and cheaper than failed, IT-centric, defense-in-depth. While nothing can be completely secure, we decide how high to set the bar for our attackers. For important SCADA systems, effective attacks should always be ruinously expensive and difficult. We can and should defend our SCADA systems so thoroughly that even our most resourceful enemies tear their hair out and curse the names of our SCADA systems' designers.
