This book provides a comprehensive view of cyber operations, analysis and targeting, including operational examples viewed through a lens of conceptual models available in current technical and policy literature. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the current cyber environment developed, as well as how to describe it for future defense. The author describes cyber analysis first as a conceptual model, based on well-known operations that span from media to suspected critical infrastructure threats. He then treats the topic as an analytical problem, approached through subject matter interviews, case studies and modeled examples that provide the reader with a framework for the problem, developing metrics and proposing realistic courses of action. Provides first book to offer comprehensive coverage of cyber operations, analysis and targeting; Pulls together the various threads that make up current cyber issues, including information operations to confidentiality, integrity and availability attacks; Uses a graphical, model based, approach to describe as a coherent whole the development of cyber operations policy and leverage frameworks; Provides a method for contextualizing and understanding cyber operations.

Have you ever heard of terms like 'Cyber', 'Cyber Intelligence', 'Cyber Threat Intelligence', or 'Cybersecurity'? Can you explain the differences? Can you quantify the terms scientifically? A recent study with a report and implementation guides does just that. The primary author Jared Ettinger and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) report are examined.

Introduction to the field of Cyber safety, wider than the commonly used concept 'cybercrime'. Different perspectives: juridical, technological, sociological & criminological. Cybercrimes reviewed are hacking, e-fraud, child pornography, unautorised file sharing and cyber warfare. Techniques like botnets, social engineering, DDoS-attacks and phishing are adressed. A special part is dedicated to youth and cyber safety: online sexual solicitations, implicit internet material, cyber bullying and video games. Also adressed are the roles of various organisations such as Internet Service Providers, Police, and governemnts. This book is an initiative of the Cyber Safety Research Group of NHL University of applied sciences and Police Academy of the Netherlands.

At a time when online surveillance and cybercrime techniques are widespread, and are being used by governments, corporations, and individuals, Cyber Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Defense gives you a practical resource that explains how these activities are being carried out and shows how to defend against them. Expert author Rob Shimonski shows you how to carry out advanced IT surveillance and reconnaissance, describes when and how these techniques are used, and provides a full legal background for each threat. To help you understand how to defend against these attacks, this book describes many new and leading-edge surveillance, information-gathering, and personal exploitation threats taking place today, including Web cam breaches, home privacy systems, physical and logical tracking, phone tracking, picture metadata, physical device tracking and geo-location, social media security, identity theft, social engineering, sniffing, and more. - Understand how IT surveillance and reconnaissance techniques are being used to track and monitor activities of individuals and organizations - Find out about the legal basis of these attacks and threats — what is legal and what is not — and how to defend against any type of surveillance - Learn how to thwart monitoring and surveillance threats with practical tools and techniques - Real-world examples teach using key concepts from cases in the news around the world

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Security of Industrial Control Systems and Cyber-Physical Systems, CyberICPS 2020, the Second International Workshop on Security and Privacy Requirements Engineering, SECPRE 2020, and the Third International Workshop on Attacks and Defenses for Internet-of-Things, ADIoT 2020, held in Guildford, UK, in September 2020 in conjunction with the 25th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually The CyberICPS Workshop received 21 submissions from which 5 full papers were selected for presentation. They cover topics related to threats, vulnerabilities and risks that cyber-physical systems and industrial control systems face; cyberattacks that may be launched against such systems; and ways of detecting and responding to such attacks. From the SECPRE Workshop 4 full papers out of 7 submissions are included. The selected papers deal with aspects of security and privacy requirements assurance and evaluation; and security requirements elicitation and modelling and to GDPR compliance. From the ADIoT Workshop 2 full papers and 2 short papers out of 12 submissions are included. The papers focus on IoT attacks and defenses and discuss either practical or theoretical solutions to identify IoT vulnerabilities and IoT security mechanisms.

Our world is increasingly driven by sophisticated networks of advanced computing technology, and the basic operation of everyday society is becoming increasingly vulnerable to these networks’ shortcomings. The implementation and upkeep of a strong network defense is a substantial challenge, beset not only by economic disincentives but also by an inherent logistical bias that grants advantage to attackers. Research Anthology on Combating Denial-of-Service Attacks examines the latest research on the development of intrusion detection systems and best practices for preventing and combatting cyber-attacks intended to disrupt business and user experience. Highlighting a range of topics such as network administration, application-layer protocols, and malware detection, this publication is an ideal reference source for cybersecurity professionals, IT specialists, policymakers, forensic analysts, technology developers, security administrators, academicians, researchers, and students.

This book examines cyberspace superiority in nation-state conflict from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. This volume analyses superiority concepts from the domains of land, maritime, and air to build a model that can be applied to cyberspace. Eight different cyberspace conflicts between nation states are examined and the resulting analysis is combined with theoretical concepts to present the reader with a conclusion. Case studies include the conflict between Russia and Estonia (2007), North Korea and the US and South Korea (2009) and Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Aramco attack (2012). The book uses these case studies to examine cyberspace superiority as an analytical framework to understand conflict in this domain between nation-states. Furthermore, the book makes the important distinction between local and universal domain superiority, and presents a unique model to relate this superiority in all domains, as well as a more detailed model of local superiority in cyberspace. Through examining the eight case studies, the book develops a rigorous system to measure the amount of cyberspace superiority achieved by a combatant in a conflict, and seeks to reveal if cyberspace superiority proves to be a significant advantage for military operations at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. This book will be of much interest to students of cyber-conflict, strategic studies, national security, foreign policy and IR in general.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of probably the most horrific solo terrorist operation the world has ever seen. On 22 July 2011 Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people when he bombed the Government District in Oslo, before he conducted a shooting attack against a political youth camp at Utøya. The main focus of the book is on the operational aspects of the events, particularly the target selection and decision-making process. Why did Breivik choose the targets he finally attacked, what influenced his decision-making and how did he do it? Using unique source material, providing details never published before, the authors accurately explain how even this ruthless terrorist acted under a number of constraints in a profoundly dynamic process. This momentous work is a must read for scholars, students and practitioners within law enforcement, intelligence, security and terrorism studies.
