The Politics and Technology of Cybersecurity
Description
(Modern Security Studies) 1st Edition
by Daniel Steed (Author)
Cyberspace is a deeply technical and political area with daily reminders, from small businesses through to national institutions, of the risks it presents. Since IT-dependent societies are vulnerable to, and regularly victims of, hacking, terrorism, espionage, and cyberwar Cybersecurity is and will remain one of the world’s most pressing security concerns. Despite this our understanding remains incomplete. The Politics and Technology of Cybersecurity bridges the gap between the technical and political worlds. Only by establishing a sound technical understanding of what is and is not possible can a properly informed discussion take place and political visions toward cyberspace accurately map and predict the future of cybersecurity.
