Information technology for peace and security: IT applications and infrastructures in conflicts, crises, war, and peace

摘要

A book with this title might seem to be only marginally relevant for corporate security personnel who are not fighting wars or keeping peace. However, in a typical contextual security analysis, you will find terms like "state actors" and "organized crime" to indicate powerful and resourceful adversaries. Similarly, the label "critical infrastructure" is an indicator of the threat level. This book expands and clarifies this basic context view dramatically in many directions. The book is split into seven parts: "Introduction and Fundamentals" (60 pages), "Cyber Conflicts and War" (75 pages), "Cyber Peace" (65 pages), "Cyber Arms Control" (70 pages), "Cyber Attribution and Infrastructures" (60 pages), "Culture and Interaction" (60 pages), and "Outlook" (15 pages). Each part consists of three contributions. Each contribution provides its objectives, questions to test your understanding, and references.
