商品描述
There is little doubt that cyber-space has become the battle space for confrontations. However, to conduct cyber operations, a new armory of weapons needs to be employed. No matter how many, or how sophisticated an aggressor's kinetic weapons are, they are useless in cyber-space.
This book looks at the milieu of the cyber weapons industry, as well as the belligerents who use cyber weapons. It discusses what distinguishes these hardware devices and software programs from computer science in general. It does this by focusing on specific aspects of the topic--contextual issues of why cyber-space is the new battleground, defensive cyber weapons, offensive cyber weapons, dual-use weapons, and the implications these weapons systems have for practice.
Contrary to popular opinion, the use of cyber weapons is not limited to nation states; though this is where the bulk of news reporting focuses. The reality is that there isn't a sector of the political-economy that is immune to cyber skirmishes. So, this book looks at cyber weapons not only by national security agencies and the military, but also by law enforcement, and the business sector--the latter includes administrations termed non-government organisations (NGOs).
This book offers study material suitable for a wide-ranging audience--students, professionals, researchers, policy officers, and ICT specialists.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在網路空間已無疑成為對抗的戰場。然而,進行網路作戰需要使用一套新的武器庫。無論侵略者的動能武器有多少或多麼先進,它們在網路空間中都是無用的。
本書探討了網路武器產業的環境,以及使用網路武器的交戰方。它討論了這些硬體設備和軟體程式與一般計算機科學的區別。這是通過專注於主題的特定方面來實現的——為什麼網路空間是新的戰場的背景問題、防禦性網路武器、攻擊性網路武器、雙用途武器,以及這些武器系統對實踐的影響。
與普遍看法相反,網路武器的使用並不僅限於國家;儘管大部分新聞報導集中於此。事實上,沒有任何一個政治經濟部門能夠免受網路衝突的影響。因此,本書不僅探討國家安全機構和軍方使用的網路武器,還包括執法機構和商業部門——後者包括被稱為非政府組織(NGOs)的行政機構。
本書提供適合廣泛讀者的學習材料——學生、專業人士、研究人員、政策官員和資訊通信技術(ICT)專家。
