Digital National Security: Cyberdefense and Cyber Operations

The engineering community is not always well versed in information operations, geopolitical conflicts, and covert intelligence, while non-technical strategists often suggest what cannot be technically done―causing gaps in current debate and public discussion. This book ties together national security, the militarization of the Internet, factual technical abilities, and geopolitical opportunities. The book uses all four steps on the ladder of abstraction: theory, methods, tools, and implementation. In a technically confident way, it exemplifies how cyber conflicts are emerging, what they can do, and how future developments could steer the impact on targeted societies.
