Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity by Anonim Pdf

The Framework focuses on using business drivers to guide cybersecurity activities and considering cybersecurity risks as part of the organization’s risk management processes. The Framework consists of three parts: the Framework Core, the Implementation Tiers, and the Framework Profiles. The Framework Core is a set of cybersecurity activities, outcomes, and informative references that are common across sectors and critical infrastructure. Elements of the Core provide detailed guidance for developing individual organizational Profiles. Through use of Profiles, the Framework will help an organization to align and prioritize its cybersecurity activities with its business/mission requirements, risk tolerances, and resources. The Tiers provide a mechanism for organizations to view and understand the characteristics of their approach to managing cybersecurity risk, which will help in prioritizing and achieving cybersecurity objectives.

Creating a National Framework for Cybersecurity: An Analysis of Issues and Options by Anonim Pdf

Even before the terrorist attacks of September 2001, concerns had been rising among security experts about the vulnerabilities to attack of computer systems and associated infrastructure. Yet, despite increasing attention from federal and state governments and international organizations, the defense against attacks on these systems has appeared to be generally fragmented and varying widely in effectiveness. Concerns have grown that what is needed is a national cybersecurity framework -- a coordinated, coherent set of public- and private-sector efforts required to ensure an acceptable level of cybersecurity for the nation. As commonly used, "cybersecurity" refers to three things: measures to protect information technology; the information it contains, processes, and transmits, and associated physical and virtual elements; the degree of protection resulting from application of those measures; and the associated field of professional endeavor. Virtually any element of cyberspace can be at risk, and the degree of interconnection of those elements can make it difficult to determine the extent of the cybersecurity framework that is needed. Identifying the major weaknesses in U.S. cybersecurity is an area of some controversy. However, some components appear to be sources of potentially significant risk because either major vulnerabilities have been identified or substantial impacts could result from a successful attack. There are several options for broadly addressing weaknesses in cybersecurity. They include adopting standards and certification, promulgating best practices and guidelines, using benchmarks and checklists, use of auditing, improving training and education, building security into enterprise architecture, using risk management, and using metrics.

Yet, despite increasing attention from federal and state governments and international organisations, the defence against attacks on these systems has appeared to be generally fragmented and varying widely in effectiveness. Concerns have grown that what is needed is a national cybersecurity framework a co-ordinated, coherent set of public- and private-sector efforts required to ensure an acceptable level of cybersecurity for the nation. As commonly used, cybersecurity refers to three things: measures to protect information technology; the information it contains, processes, and transmits, and associated physical and virtual elements (which together comprise cyberspace); the degree of protection resulting from application of those measures; and the associated field of professional endeavour. Virtually any element of cyberspace can be at risk, and the degree of interconnection of those elements can make it difficult to determine the extent of the cybersecurity framework that is needed. Identifying the major weaknesses in U.S. cybersecurity is an area of some controversy. However, some components appear to be sources of potentially significant risk because either major vulnerabilities have been identified or substantial impacts could result from a successful attack in particular, components that play critical roles in elements of critical infrastructure, widely used commercial software, organisational governance, and the level of public knowledge and perception about cybersecurity. This book addresses each of those questions in turn.

Cyber Security by James Andrew Lewis Pdf

"This volume looks at the challenges of cyberspace in an interdependent world and at the need for new, cooperative modes of governance to build cyber security. Making networks and critical infrastructure secure requires competent domestic strategies. But it also requires a willingness among governments to take the lead in supporting one another through effective legal structures and agreements such as the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime. The authors explore informal and formal bilateral and multilateral approaches to transnational cooperation on cyber security and examine the elements needed for success."--BOOK JACKET.

Cybercrime and Cybersecurity in the Global South by Charlette Donalds,Corlane Barclay,Kweku-Muata Osei-Bryson Pdf

The Global South is recognized as one of the fastest growing regions in terms of Internet population as well as the region that accounts for the majority of Internet users. However, It cannot be overlooked that with increasing connectivity to and dependence on Internet-based platforms and services, so too is the potential increased for information and cybersecurity threats and attacks. Further, it has long been established that micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a key role in national economies, serving as important drivers of economic growth in Global South economies. Yet, little is known about information security, cybersecurity and cybercrime issues and strategies contextualized to these developing economies and MSMEs. Cybercrime and Cybersecurity in the Global South: Concepts, Strategies and Frameworks for Greater Resilience examines the prevalence, nature, trends and impacts of cyber-related incidents on Global South economies. It further explores cybersecurity challenges, potential threats, and risks likely faced by MSMEs and governments of the Global South. A major thrust of this book is to offer tools, techniques, and legislative frameworks that can improve the information, data, and cybersecurity posture of Global South governments and MSMEs. It also provides evidence-based best practices and strategies relevant to the business community and general Information Communication Technology (ICT) users in combating and preventing cyber-related incidents. Also examined in this book are case studies and experiences of the Global South economies that can be used to enhance students’ learning experience. Another important feature of this book is that it outlines a research agenda to advance the scholarship of information and cybersecurity in the Global South. Features: Cybercrime in the Caribbean Privacy and security management Cybersecurity compliance behaviour Developing solutions for managing cybersecurity risks Designing an effective cybersecurity programme in the organization for improved resilience The cybersecurity capability maturity model for sustainable security advantage Cyber hygiene practices for MSMEs A cybercrime classification ontology

National cyber security : framework manual by Alexander Klimburg Pdf

"What, exactly, is 'National Cyber Security'? The rise of cyberspace as a field of human endeavour is probably nothing less than one of the most significant developments in world history. Cyberspace already directly impacts every facet of human existence including economic, social, cultural and political developments, and the rate of change is not likely to stop anytime soon. However, the socio-political answers to the questions posed by the rise of cyberspace often significantly lag behind the rate of technological change. One of the fields most challenged by this development is that of 'national security'. The National Cyber Security Framework Manual provides detailed background information and in-depth theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the various facets of National Cyber Security, according to different levels of public policy formulation. The four levels of government--political, strategic, operational and tactical/technical--each have their own perspectives on National Cyber Security, and each is addressed in individual sections within the Manual. Additionally, the Manual gives examples of relevant institutions in National Cyber Security, from top-level policy coordination bodies down to cyber crisis management structures and similar institutions."--Page 4 of cover.
