Description
Book Synopsis
Cyber OperationsA rigorous new framework for understanding the world of the future
Information technology is evolving at a truly revolutionary pace, creating with every passing year a more connected world with an ever-expanding digital footprint. Cyber technologies like voice-activated search, automated transport, and the Internet of Things are only broadening the interface between the personal and the online, which creates new challenges and new opportunities. Improving both user security and quality of life demands a rigorous, farsighted approach to cyber operations.
Cyber Operations offers a groundbreaking contribution to this effort, departing from earlier works to offer a comprehensive, structured framework for analyzing cyber systems and their interactions. Drawing on operational examples and real-world case studies, it promises to provide both cyber security professionals and cyber technologies designers with the conceptual models and practical methodologies they need to succeed.
Cyber Operations readers will also find:
- Detailed discussions of case studies including the 2016 United States Presidential Election, the Dragonfly Campaign, and more
- Coverage of cyber attack impacts ranging from the psychological to attacks on physical infrastructure
- Insight from an author with top-level experience in cyber security
Cyber Operations is ideal for all technological professionals or policymakers looking to develop their understanding of cyber issues.
