Description
Cybersecurity What Everyone Needs to Know by Peter W. Singer and Allan Friedman is a comprehensive exploration of the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity and its implications for modern warfare. The digital revolution has transformed the way institutions, including those in conflict, operate, with computers now at the heart of virtually every basic function. This shift has significant consequences, as the Internet's potential for full-spectrum surveillance and information disruption raises new challenges for security and defence. Noted experts Singer and Friedman examine how this revolution in military cybernetics occurred and where it is headed, discussing the latest developments in military and security technology. Their book provides a clear understanding of cyberspace, its exploitation, and why defending against cyber threats is so difficult. The authors also offer practical advice on how individuals and governments can protect themselves from these emerging threats, making this an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the nature of war, conflict, and security in the 21st century.
