Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know

A generation ago, cyberspace was a term from science fiction, used to describe the nascent network of computers linking a few university labs. Today, our entire modern way of life, from communication to commerce to conflict, fundamentally depends on the Internet. Cybersecurity and Cyberwar is structured around the key question areas of cyberspace and its security: how it all works, why it all matters, and what can we do? Along the way, the authors take readers on a tour of the important issues and characters of cybersecurity, from hackers and the Stuxnet computer virus to the new cyber units of the Chinese and U.S. militaries.
