| Summary: |
Presents an urgent assessment of how governments, businesses, and everyday citizens can counter and prevent attacks by criminal hackers determined to create a digital war zone. We have entered an age in which online threats carry real-world consequences, but we do not have to let autocrats and criminals run amok in the digital realm. Clarke and Knake offers a vivid tour of the fifth domain-- the Pentagon's term for cyberspace-- and introduces us to people who have learned through hard experience how government agencies and private firms can fend off cyber threats. With a focus on solutions over scaremongering, they make a compelling case for building systems that can resist most attacks, raising the costs on cyber criminals and the autocrats who often lurk behind them, and avoiding the trap of overreaction to digital attacks. -- adapted from jacket |
