Book Description
This book documents and explains civil defence preparations for national cyber emergencies in conditions of both peace and war. The volume analyses the escalating sense of crisis around state-sponsored cyber attacks that has emerged since 2015, when the United States first declared a national emergency in cyberspace. It documents a shift in thinking in the USA, from cooperative resilience-oriented approaches at national level to more highly regulated, state-led civil defence initiatives. Although the American response has been mirrored in other countries, the shift is far from universal. Civil defence strategies have come into play but the global experience of that has not been consistent or even that successful. Containing contributions from well-placed scholars and practitioners, this volume reviews a selection of national experiences (from the USA, Australia, India, China, Estonia, and Finland) and a number of key thematic issues (information weapons, alliance coordination, and attack simulations). These demonstrate a disconnect between the deepening sense of vulnerability and the availability of viable solutions at the national level. Awareness of this gap may ultimately lead to more internationally oriented cooperation, but the trend for now appears to be more conflictual and rooted in a growing sense of insecurity. This book will be of much interest to students of cyber security, homeland security, disaster management, and international relations, as well as practitioners and policy-makers.

Book Description
Cyber analysis and warning capabilities are critical to thwarting computer-based (cyber) threats and attacks. The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) established the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) to, among other things, coordinate the nation¿s efforts to prepare for, prevent, and respond to cyber threats to systems and communications networks. This report: (1) identifies key attributes of cyber analysis and warning capabilities; (2) compares these attributes with US-CERT¿s current capabilities to identify whether there are gaps; and (3) identifies US-CERT¿s challenges to developing and implementing key attributes and a successful national cyber analysis and warning capability. Includes recommendations. Illus.

Book Description
"This report addresses the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team's (US-CERT) efforts to coordinate national cyber analyses and warnings against and response to attacks within the nation's critical infrastructure. It is based on direct observations and analyses of applicable documents. We obtained additional supporting documentation through interviews with selected personnel located in the National Cyber Security Division, US-CERT Program Office, Carnegie Mellon University--Software Engineering Institute, and selected federal agencies. The recommendations herein have been developed to the best knowledge available to our office, and have been discussed in draft with those responsible for implementation. We trust this report will result in more effective, efficient, and economical operations."--Preface.

Book Description
We depend on information and information technology (IT) to make many of our day-to-day tasks easier and more convenient. Computers play key roles in transportation, health care, banking, and energy. Businesses use IT for payroll and accounting, inventory and sales, and research and development. Modern military forces use weapons that are increasingly coordinated through computer-based networks. Cybersecurity is vital to protecting all of these functions. Cyberspace is vulnerable to a broad spectrum of hackers, criminals, terrorists, and state actors. Working in cyberspace, these malevolent actors can steal money, intellectual property, or classified information; impersonate law-abiding parties for their own purposes; damage important data; or deny the availability of normally accessible services. Cybersecurity issues arise because of three factors taken together - the presence of malevolent actors in cyberspace, societal reliance on IT for many important functions, and the presence of vulnerabilities in IT systems. What steps can policy makers take to protect our government, businesses, and the public from those would take advantage of system vulnerabilities? At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy offers a wealth of information on practical measures, technical and nontechnical challenges, and potential policy responses. According to this report, cybersecurity is a never-ending battle; threats will evolve as adversaries adopt new tools and techniques to compromise security. Cybersecurity is therefore an ongoing process that needs to evolve as new threats are identified. At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy is a call for action to make cybersecurity a public safety priority. For a number of years, the cybersecurity issue has received increasing public attention; however, most policy focus has been on the short-term costs of improving systems. In its explanation of the fundamentals of cybersecurity and the discussion of potential policy responses, this book will be a resource for policy makers, cybersecurity and IT professionals, and anyone who wants to understand threats to cyberspace.

Book Description
Cybersecurity is a matter of National, economic, and societal importance. Present-day attacks on the Nation's computer systems do not simply damage an isolated machine or disrupt a single enterprise system, but current attacks target infrastructure that is integral to the economy, National defense, and daily life. Computer networks have joined food, water, transportation, and energy as critical resources for the functioning of the National economy. When one of these key cyber infrastructure systems is attacked, the same consequences exist as those for a natural disaster or terrorist attack.
