Cybersecurity Public Policy: SWOT Analysis Conducted on 43 Countries
by Bradley Fowler Kennedy MarangaSince 2000, many governments, parliaments, and ministries have worked diligently to define effective guidelines that safeguard both public and private sector information systems, as well as information assets, from unwanted cyberattacks and unauthorized system intrusion. While some countries manage successful cybersecurity public policies that undergo modification and revision annually, other countries struggle to define such policies effectively, because cybersecurity is not a priority within their country. For countries that have begun to define cybersecurity public policy, there remains a need to stay current with trends in cyber defense and information system security, information not necessarily readily available for all countries. This research evaluates 43 countries' cybersecurity public policy utilizing a SWOT analysis; Afghanistan, Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Chili, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dubai, Egypt, Estonia, European Union, Finland, Gambia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Samoa, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Vietnam; to transparently discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats encompassing each of these 43 countries' cybersecurity public policies. The primary vision for this title is to create an educational resource that benefits both the public and the private sectors. Without clarity on cybersecurity public policy, there remains a gap in understanding how to meet these needs worldwide. Furthermore, while more than 43 countries have already enacted cybersecurity public policy, many countries neglect translating their policy into English; this impacts the ability of all countries to communicate clearly and collaborate harmoniously on this subject matter. This book works to fill the “gap”, stop the spread of misinformation, and become the gateway to understanding what approaches can best serve the needs of both public and private sectors. Its goals include educating the public, and, in partnership with governments, parliaments, ministries, and cybersecurity public policy analysts, helping mitigate vulnerabilities currently woven into public and private sector information systems, software, hardware, and web interface applications relied upon for daily business activities.

Cybersecurity Teaching in Higher Education
by Leslie F. Sikos Paul Haskell-DowlandThis book collects state-of-the-art curriculum development considerations, training methods, techniques, and best practices, as well as cybersecurity lab requirements and aspects to take into account when setting up new labs, all based on hands-on experience in teaching cybersecurity in higher education.In parallel with the increasing number and impact of cyberattacks, there is a growing demand for cybersecurity courses in higher education. More and more educational institutions offer cybersecurity courses, which come with unique and constantly evolving challenges not known in other disciplines. For example, step-by-step guides may not work for some of the students if the configuration of a computing environment is not identical or similar enough to the one the workshop material is based on, which can be a huge problem for blended and online delivery modes. Using nested virtualization in a cloud infrastructure might not be authentic for all kinds of exercises, because some of its characteristics can be vastly different from an enterprise network environment that would be the most important to demonstrate to students. The availability of cybersecurity datasets for training and educational purposes can be limited, and the publicly available datasets might not suit a large share of training materials, because they are often excessively documented, but not only by authoritative websites, which render these inappropriate for assignments and can be misleading for online students following training workshops and looking for online resources about datasets such as the Boss of the SOC (BOTS) datasets. The constant changes of Kali Linux make it necessary to regularly update training materials, because commands might not run the same way they did a couple of months ago. The many challenges of cybersecurity education are further complicated by the continuous evolution of networking and cloud computing, hardware and software, which shapes student expectations: what is acceptable and respected today might be obsolete or even laughable tomorrow.

Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence: Transformational Strategies and Disruptive Innovation (Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications)
by Hamid Jahankhani Gordon Bowen Mhd Saeed Sharif Osama HussienThis book discusses a range of topics that are essential to understanding cyber security, including legal implications and technical aspects, cyber detection, and minimising the threats so that governments and organisations can function without noticeable degradation of service. Unlike other technological threats, cyber security threats have the potential to destroy governments and undermine democratic processes – which makes an overarching cyber security strategy essential for all functioning governments. Thus, the book serves as a guide for developing strategies and ideas in the field and as a motivator for other governments and interested parties to develop and implement effective strategies. Arguably the most difficult aspect of these strategies is their implementation, which will require a cultural sea change in governments’ approaches to handling cyber security and developing a regulatory framework that links organisations and governments in a secure working environment. The development of cyber security strategies calls for new skills at the technical and user levels alike. However, IT skills are sometimes in short supply, and without a government policy on cyber security training, the lack of these skills could hamper the full potential of cyber security. The book explores various aspects and challenges of cyber security strategy and highlights the benefits and drawbacks, offering in-depth insights into the field.
Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know
by P. W. Singer Allan FriedmanDependence on computers has had a transformative effect on human society. Cybernetics is now woven into the core functions of virtually every basic institution, including our oldest ones. War is one such institution, and the digital revolution's impact on it has been profound. The Americanmilitary, which has no peer, is almost completely reliant on high-tech computer systems. Given the Internet's potential for full-spectrum surveillance and information disruption, the marshaling of computer networks represents the next stage of cyberwar. Indeed, it is upon us already. The recentStuxnet episode, in which Israel fed a malignant computer virus into Iran's nuclear facilities, is one such example. Penetration into US government computer systems by Chinese hackers - presumably sponsored by the Chinese government - is another. Together, they point to a new era in the evolution ofhuman conflict. In Cybersecurity: What Everyone Needs to Know, noted experts Peter W. Singer and Allan Friedman lay out how the revolution in military cybernetics occurred and explain where it is headed. They begin with an explanation of what cyberspace is before moving on to discussions of how it can be exploitedand why it is so hard to defend. Throughout, they discuss the latest developments in military and security technology. Singer and Friedman close with a discussion of how people and governments can protect themselves. In sum, Cybersecurity is the definitive account on the subject for the educatedlayman who wants to know more about the nature of war, conflict, and security in the twenty first century.

Cybersecurity and EU Law: Adopting the Network and Information Security Directive (Routledge Research in EU Law)
by Theodoros KarathanasisCybersecurity is set to be one of the dominant themes in EU governance in the coming years, and EU law has begun to adapt to the challenges presented by security with the adoption of the Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive. This book explores the binding effects of the legal instruments and analyzes the impact of the constraining factors originating from NIS-related domestic policies across Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Poland upon the transposition of the NIS Directive.Combining insights from law and political science, the book offers a comparative empirical analysis of national policies and regulations regarding network and information security, as well as the national legal framework deriving from the NIS Directive’s transposition. The book argues that the more the Directives offer a regulatory leeway to EU Member States for the transposition of their content, the more the preservation of national interests by EU Member States affects the uniform application of directives across the EU. Highlighting the need to go beyond the study of the legal compliance of European directives, the volume offers a new perspective on the interests of Member States and European law, bridging the gap between the politics and law of European integration.It will be of interest to students, academics, and practitioners with an interest in EU Law and cybersecurity.

by Hamid Jahankhani Biju IssacThis book presents the 16th ICGS3-24 conference which aims to understand the full impact of cyber-security, AI, deepfake, and quantum computing on humanity. Over the last two decades, technology relating to cyber-space (satellites, drones, UAVs), cyber-security, artificial intelligence, and generative AI has evolved rapidly. Today, criminals have identified rewards from online frauds; therefore, the risks and threats of cyber-attacks have increased too. Detection of the threat is another strand to the strategy and will require dynamic risk management techniques, strong and up-to-date information governance standards, and frameworks with AI responsive approaches in order to successfully monitor and coordinate efforts between the parties. Thus, the ability to minimize the threats from cyber is an important requirement. This will be a mission-critical aspect of the strategy with development of the right cyber-security skills, knowledge, and culture that are imperative for the implementation of the cyber-strategies. As a result, the requirement for how AI Demand will influence business change and thus influence organizations and governments is becoming important. In an era of unprecedented volatile, political, and economic environment across the world, computer-based systems face ever more increasing challenges, disputes, and responsibilities while the Internet has created a global platform for the exchange of ideas, goods, and services; however, it has also created boundless opportunities for cyber-crime. The ethical and legal implications of connecting the physical and digital worlds and presenting the reality of a truly interconnected society present the realization of the concept of smart societies. Drawing on 15 years of successful events, the 16th ICGS3-24 conference aims to provide attendees with an information-packed agenda with representatives from across the industry and the globe.
