Book Description
The new US National Cyber Strategy points to Russia, China, North Korea and Iran as the main international actors responsible for launching malicious cyber and information warfare campaigns against Western interests and democratic processes. Washington made clear its intention of scaling the response to the magnitude of the threat, while actively pursuing the goal of an open, secure and global Internet. The first Report of the ISPI Center on Cybersecurity focuses on the behaviour of these “usual suspects”, investigates the security risks implicit in the mounting international confrontation in cyberspace, and highlights the current irreconcilable political cleavage between these four countries and the West in their respective approaches “in and around” cyberspace.

Book Description
This book is an extremely relevant must read for anyone concerned with the current cyber threat against United States' national and economic security. Over the past few years, the U.S. has increasingly been the victim of sophisticated and significant cyber attacks by state-sponsored and malicious individual actors. These threats have progressively targeted the U.S. military and political systems, financial institutions, healthcare systems, electric grid, dams, and retail sectors. The total extent of damage and loss we may never know... until it's too late. In 2019, revenues from malicious cyber actors exceeded the combined revenues of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. In a single year more than 3 billion U.S. accounts were hacked. These malicious actors are aggressively investing in talent, technology and tactics. They are coordinated, trained, highly sophisticated, and most importantly...undeterred.Despite formidable U.S. government and private industry cyber capabilities, the nation lacks the necessary strategy for integrated cybersecurity. Its current policy leaves its privately-owned critical infrastructure struggling to defend itself against a rapidly growing cyber storm which threatens to undermine and envelope U.S. cyber defenses. The result is a nation highly vulnerable to cyber threats which could expose the U.S. to a potentially catastrophic impact on national security and the economy.Through detailed analysis and real-world military strategy, healthcare, and financial sector experience, the author presents a pragmatic remedy to securing the nation against cyber threats. Using coercion and other instruments of statecraft, this book explores the art of strategy to devise a public-private means to effectively influence cyber threats, along with the vernacular and constructs necessary to carry it out. . This book goes beyond academic policy; it is a battle-cry to action offering practical solutions for every nation's leadership when Confronting the Cyber Storm."In this book, Banks has concisely laid out a compelling, well-documented case for a coercive strategy as part of an overall national cybersecurity strategy. His case studies make clear the need. His recommendations reveal a deep understanding of the threat as well as of the tools available to government and private industry to meet it."Eric J. McNulty, MA, Associate Director and Program Co-director Harvard University's National Preparedness Leadership Initiative, a joint program of the Harvard Chan School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government."Banks delivers an incredibly relevant book for our time. Full of rich detail on the state of all things cyber, he calls out the deficiencies in current Western cyber strategies and pitches a comprehensive coercion strategy to protect our future. The wise will heed his call to action, turn the tables on malicious cyber actors, and give them something meaningful to worry about." Dr. Christian Watt, Colonel, USAF, Associate Dean U.S. Air Force War College "This book offers a much-needed structure to policy discussions surrounding cyber conflict. Col (ret) Banks' important perspectives offer a cogent pathway to think about and operationalize cyber strategy. While many "strategies" for cyberspace exist, they are more often than not policy pronouncements rather than "strategy" in the classical sense of the term. The frameworks he provides offer a pathway for ends, ways and means the United States should go on the offensive as a nation to confront aggressive adversaries in the cyber domain and more broadly integrating cyberspace into our toolkit for national statecraft and grand strategy."Dr. Pano Yannakogeorgos.

Book Description
The Russia Scare assesses the scope, character and extent of Russian interference in the affairs of liberal democratic states. This book examines the ‘Russia scare’ in a dynamic manner, stressing the interaction between threat perception, responses and subsequent policies. What forms did this threat take, what were the instruments used, how effective were the deployed tools and who were the allies with whom Russia worked in these endeavours? Above all, what impact did interference have on target societies? The book explores why Russia engaged in such activities, what the probable chain of command was (if any) and the role of the Russian leadership in all of this, as well as investigating the response of Western societies and governments. The author sifts the real from the imagined, which can only be achieved by establishing the larger historical context. He scrutinises the fundamental question: was Russia before the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 really engaged in a sustained ‘hybrid warfare’ campaign to sow discord and undermine Western democracies? If so, what were the strategic purposes underlying such an activity? Various hypotheses are analysed, notably that Russian post-Cold War activity is nothing exceptional in the context of great power confrontation; that all great powers are engaged in one way or another in such actions, and thus contextualisation is important; and that Russia’s subversive activity was often exaggerated, even misrepresented. Responses potentially amplified the elements of subversion represented by the original threat. Threats exist, but responses always need to be calibrated so as not to inflict self-harm on the integrity of liberal democracy itself. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and academics of international relations, comparative politics, security and defence studies, global governance and Russian politics, as well as politicians, political advisers, NGOs, diplomats and journalists.

Book Description
A ground shaking exposé on the failure of popular cyber risk management methods How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk exposes the shortcomings of current "risk management" practices, and offers a series of improvement techniques that help you fill the holes and ramp up security. In his bestselling book How to Measure Anything, author Douglas W. Hubbard opened the business world's eyes to the critical need for better measurement. This book expands upon that premise and draws from The Failure of Risk Management to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm. Some of the field's premier risk management approaches actually create more risk than they mitigate, and questionable methods have been duplicated across industries and embedded in the products accepted as gospel. This book sheds light on these blatant risks, and provides alternate techniques that can help improve your current situation. You'll also learn which approaches are too risky to save, and are actually more damaging than a total lack of any security. Dangerous risk management methods abound; there is no industry more critically in need of solutions than cybersecurity. This book provides solutions where they exist, and advises when to change tracks entirely. Discover the shortcomings of cybersecurity's "best practices" Learn which risk management approaches actually create risk Improve your current practices with practical alterations Learn which methods are beyond saving, and worse than doing nothing Insightful and enlightening, this book will inspire a closer examination of your company's own risk management practices in the context of cybersecurity. The end goal is airtight data protection, so finding cracks in the vault is a positive thing—as long as you get there before the bad guys do. How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk is your guide to more robust protection through better quantitative processes, approaches, and techniques.

Book Description
Cyber norms and other ways to regulate responsible state behavior in cyberspace is a fast-moving political and diplomatic field. The academic study of these processes is varied and interdisciplinary, but much of the literature has been organized according to discipline. Seeking to cross disciplinary boundaries, this timely book brings together researchers in fields ranging from international law, international relations, and political science to business studies and philosophy to explore the theme of responsible state behavior in cyberspace. . Divided into three parts, Governing Cyberspace first looks at current debates in and about international law and diplomacy in cyberspace. How does international law regulate state behaviour and what are its limits? How do cyber superpowers like China and Russia shape their foreign policy in relation to cyberspace? The second focuses on power and governance. What is the role for international organisations like NATO or for substate actors like intelligence agencies? How do they adapt to the realities of cyberspace and digital conflict? How does the classic balance of power play out in cyberspace and how do different states position themselves? The third part takes a critical look at multistakeholder and corporate diplomacy. How do global tech companies shape their role as norm entrepreneurs in cyberspace, and how do their cyber diplomatic efforts relate to their corporate identity?
