Not a day goes by without articles across the media landscape announcing a database security break-in, a new form of computer hacking often from a distant nation, compromises in personal financial information, or one of America’s credit bureaus losing control of its data security infrastructure.
The US Government Online Bookstore has put together a collection of publications focusing on Cyber Security and Infrastructure, featuring federal publications that deal with this serious condition that has the potential of breaking down telecommunications, energy, and financial transactions of nations, even on a global scale.
Here is just a small sampling of the titles now available online to help Americans better understand the threat, and what you can do to combat it on a personal level.
Cyber Infrastructure Protection: Volume III. This book addresses critical issues in cybersecurity. Topics discussed include: a cooperative international deterrence capability as an essential tool in cybersecurity; an estimation of the costs of cybercrime; the impact of prosecuting spammers on fraud and malware contained in email spam; cybersecurity and privacy in smart cities; smart cities demand smart security; and, a smart grid vulnerability assessment using national testbed networks.
Cyberspace: Malevolent Actors, Criminal Opportunities, and Strategic Competition. This report is intended to provide cyberspace decision-makers with a more comprehensive, clearer description of cyberspace, which they can use to manage and make decisions about cyberspace programs to improve the effectiveness of government in this critically important area.
NATO Cyberspace Capability: A Strategic and Operational Evolution. This monograph examines the past and current state of NATO’s cyberspace defense efforts by assessing the appropriateness and sufficiency of them to address anticipated threats to member countries, including the United States. This analysis focuses on the recent history of NATOs cyberspace defense efforts and how changes in NATOs strategy and policy writ large embrace the emerging nature of cyberspace for military forces, as well as other elements of power.
