商品描述
As the 2020 global lockdown became a universal strategy to control the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing triggered a massive reliance on online and cyberspace alternatives and switched the world to the digital economy. Despite their effectiveness for remote work and online interactions, cyberspace alternatives ignited several Cybersecurity challenges. Malicious hackers capitalized on global anxiety and launched cyberattacks against unsuspecting victims. Internet fraudsters exploited human and system vulnerabilities and impacted data integrity, privacy, and digital behaviour.
Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic demystifies Cybersecurity concepts using real-world cybercrime incidents from the pandemic to illustrate how threat actors perpetrated computer fraud against valuable information assets particularly healthcare, financial, commercial, travel, academic, and social networking data. The book simplifies the socio-technical aspects of Cybersecurity and draws valuable lessons from the impacts COVID-19 cyberattacks exerted on computer networks, online portals, and databases. The book also predicts the fusion of Cybersecurity into Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics, the two emerging domains that will potentially dominate and redefine post-pandemic Cybersecurity research and innovations between 2021 and 2025.
The book's primary audience is individual and corporate cyberspace consumers across all professions intending to update their Cybersecurity knowledge for detecting, preventing, responding to, and recovering from computer crimes. Cybersecurity in the COVID-19 Pandemic is ideal for information officers, data managers, business and risk administrators, technology scholars, Cybersecurity experts and researchers, and information technology practitioners. Readers will draw lessons for protecting their digital assets from email phishing fraud, social engineering scams, malware campaigns, and website hijacks.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
隨著2020年全球封鎖成為控制COVID-19疫情的普遍策略，社交距離促使人們大量依賴線上和網路空間的替代方案，並將世界轉向數位經濟。儘管這些網路空間的替代方案在遠端工作和線上互動方面有效，但也引發了幾個網路安全挑戰。惡意駭客利用全球的焦慮，對毫無防備的受害者發動網路攻擊。網路詐騙者則利用人類和系統的脆弱性，影響數據的完整性、隱私和數位行為。
《COVID-19疫情中的網路安全》透過真實的網路犯罪事件來揭示網路安全概念，說明威脅行為者如何對有價值的信息資產（特別是醫療、金融、商業、旅遊、學術和社交網路數據）進行電腦詐騙。這本書簡化了網路安全的社會技術面向，並從COVID-19網路攻擊對電腦網路、線上入口網站和數據庫的影響中汲取寶貴的教訓。書中還預測了網路安全將與人工智慧和大數據分析融合，這兩個新興領域將可能主導並重新定義2021年至2025年後疫情時代的網路安全研究和創新。
本書的主要讀者是各行各業的個人和企業網路空間消費者，旨在更新他們的網路安全知識，以便檢測、預防、應對和從電腦犯罪中恢復。《COVID-19疫情中的網路安全》非常適合信息官、數據管理者、商業和風險管理者、技術學者、網路安全專家和研究人員，以及信息技術從業者。讀者將從中學習如何保護他們的數位資產，免受電子郵件釣魚詐騙、社交工程詐騙、惡意軟體攻擊和網站劫持的威脅。
作者簡介
Kenneth Okereafor is Deputy General Manager responsible for Database Security at the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Nigeria. He is a United Nations trained Cybersecurity and Biometric expert with 24 years' ICT experience spanning industry, government, and academia. He has specialized skills in Threat Mitigation Technologies for preventing, detecting, and responding to Cyberattacks. He is a member of the International Organization for Standardization's Technical Committee on Health Informatics (ISO-TC-215), and he chairs ISO's Security and Privacy Working Group-4 in Nigeria developing Cybersecurity standards for digital health.
Kenneth was a key member in developing Nigeria's eHealth Strategic Framework (2015-2020) in collaboration with the WHO and UN Foundation. Prior to joining NHIS in 2013, he had extensive data security work experience in telecoms, diplomatic relations, and public sector including the US Department of State where he supported the Biometric security rollout for personnel at the US Embassy in Nigeria.
In addition to advanced Cybersecurity training by ITU, UNESCO, SANS Institute, EC Council, and ISACA, Kenneth holds a PhD in Cybersecurity from Azteca University Mexico, where his research in Biometric Security resulted in the Multi-Modal Random Trait Biometric Liveness Detection System (MMRTBLDS), a framework that improves biometric authentication by diminishing imposter predictability. He graduated cum laude and obtained an MSc in Network Security and BSc in Computer Information Systems from American Heritage University of Southern California, and has a first class background in Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering.
His research interests centre on Global Cybersecurity, Incident Response, Cyberattack Prevention and Mitigation, Biometric Security, Threat Intelligence, eHealth Security, Telemedicine, and Digital Identities.
