Cyber War

Zusatztext "Will strengthen Clarke's claims as one of the founding fathers of cybersecurocracy....It is worth buying this book if only for his pithy five-page vision of this coming apocalypse and a return to stone-age conditions within a week! all because of a few pesky hackers and viruses." Informationen zum Autor Richard A. Clarke , a veteran of thirty years in national security and over a decade in the White House, is now the CEO of a cyber-security consulting firm. He is the author of seven previous books, including the bestsellers Against All Enemies and Cyber War . Klappentext Richard A. Clarke warned America once before about the havoc terrorism would wreak on our national security—and he was right. Now he warns us of another threat, silent but equally dangerous. Cyber War is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. It explains clearly and convincingly what cyber war is, how cyber weapons work, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. This is the first book about the war of the future—cyber war—and a convincing argument that we may already be in peril of losing it. Zusammenfassung Traces the rise of the cyber age and profiles the characters at its epicenter, including criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. This title outlines how our national security has already been compromised, and what America stands to lose if we continue to follow policies that block our ability to defend ourselves against a cyber attack.
