| Sumario: | In a very short time, individuals and companies have harnessed cyberspace to create new industries, a vibrant social space, and a new economic sphere that are intertwined with our everyday lives. At the same time, individuals, subnational groups, and governments are using cyberspace to advance interests through malicious activity. Terrorists recruit, train, and target through the Internet, hackers steal data, and intelligence services conduct espionage. Still, the vast majority of cyberspace is civilian space used by individuals, businesses, and governments for legitimate purposes. Scholars, policy analysts, and information technology executives consider current and future cyber threats. They discuss various strategies to advance and defend national interests in cyberspace, contrast the US approach with European and Chinese views, and posit a way of using cyber capabilities in war. Fundamentally, this book establishes a coherent framework to help strategists and policymakers understand the ways in which cyberspace has become a critical new domain for national security. |
