Book Description
This book provides an opportunity for investigators, government officials, systems scientists, strategists, assurance researchers, owners, operators and maintainers of large, complex and advanced systems and infrastructures to update their knowledge with the state of best practice in the challenging domains whilst networking with the leading representatives, researchers and solution providers. Drawing on 12 years of successful events on information security, digital forensics and cyber-crime, the 13th ICGS3-20 conference aims to provide attendees with an information-packed agenda with representatives from across the industry and the globe. The challenges of complexity, rapid pace of change and risk/opportunity issues associated with modern products, systems, special events and infrastructures. In an era of unprecedented volatile, political and economic environment across the world, computer-based systems face ever more increasing challenges, disputes and responsibilities, and whilst the Internet has created a global platform for the exchange of ideas, goods and services, it has also created boundless opportunities for cyber-crime. As an increasing number of large organizations and individuals use the Internet and its satellite mobile technologies, they are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-crime threats. It is therefore paramount that the security industry raises its game to combat these threats. Whilst there is a huge adoption of technology and smart home devices, comparably, there is a rise of threat vector in the abuse of the technology in domestic violence inflicted through IoT too. All these are an issue of global importance as law enforcement agencies all over the world are struggling to cope.

Book Description
"Sober, lucid and often wise." —Nature The Internet is powerful, but it is not safe. As "smart" devices proliferate the risks will get worse, unless we act now. From driverless cars to smart thermostats, from autonomous stock-trading systems to drones equipped with their own behavioral algorithms, the Internet now has direct effects on the physical world. Forget data theft: cutting-edge digital attackers can now literally crash your car, pacemaker, and home security system, as well as everyone else’s. In Click Here to Kill Everybody, best-selling author Bruce Schneier explores the risks and security implications of our new, hyper-connected era, and lays out common-sense policies that will allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to the consequences of its insecurity.

Book Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ability of everyday objects to connect to the Internet and to send and receive data. Experts estimate that in 2015 there will be 25 billion connected devices, and by 2020, 50 billion. This report summarizes a workshop hosted by the Fed. Trade Comm. (FTC) on Nov. 19, 2013, on IoT devices sold to or used by consumers and the issues of privacy and security. Participants noted that the IoT presents a variety of potential security risks that could be exploited to harm consumers by: (1) enabling unauthorized access and misuse of personal information; (2) facilitating attacks on other systems; and (3) creating risks to personal safety. Also, privacy risks may flow from the collection of personal information, habits, locations, and physical conditions over time. Such risks could undermine consumer confidence and may result in less widespread adoption. Participants also discussed Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs): security, data minimization, notice, and choice; and how use-based approaches could help protect consumer privacy. This is a print on demand report.

Book Description
This anniversary edition which has stood the test of time as a runaway best-seller provides a practical, straight-forward guide to achieving security throughout computer networks. No theory, no math, no fiction of what should be working but isn't, just the facts. Known as the master of cryptography, Schneier uses his extensive field experience with his own clients to dispel the myths that often mislead IT managers as they try to build secure systems. A much-touted section: Schneier's tutorial on just what cryptography (a subset of computer security) can and cannot do for them, has received far-reaching praise from both the technical and business community. Praise for Secrets and Lies "This is a business issue, not a technical one, and executives can no longer leave such decisions to techies. That's why Secrets and Lies belongs in every manager's library."-Business Week "Startlingly lively....a jewel box of little surprises you can actually use."-Fortune "Secrets is a comprehensive, well-written work on a topic few business leaders can afford to neglect."-Business 2.0 "Instead of talking algorithms to geeky programmers, [Schneier] offers a primer in practical computer security aimed at those shopping, communicating or doing business online-almost everyone, in other words."-The Economist "Schneier...peppers the book with lively anecdotes and aphorisms, making it unusually accessible."-Los Angeles Times With a new and compelling Introduction by the author, this premium edition will become a keepsake for security enthusiasts of every stripe.

Book Description
In "Securing the Connected World," the author delves deep into the rapidly evolving frontier of cyber threats, exploring how the rise of digital sovereignty is redefining the way nations, corporations, and individuals safeguard their digital domains. The onset of the digital age has brought unprecedented convenience and connectivity. Yet, as the author demonstrates, it also introduces profound vulnerabilities. The book embarks on a journey from the early days of the internet, detailing its transition from a decentralized information-sharing platform to the nerve center of contemporary societies and economies. At the heart of this transformation is the emerging concept of 'digital sovereignty.' Nations, in the quest for enhanced control and security, are delineating digital borders, asserting rights over data, and navigating the dichotomy between open internet principles and national interests. Key focal points of the narrative include: Emerging Threats: An exploration into the state-of-the-art cyber threats, from sophisticated state-sponsored attacks and corporate espionage to decentralized hacking collectives and cyberterrorism. The Great Digital Wall: Detailed case studies of countries that are pioneering the concept of digital sovereignty, with in-depth analyses of their motivations, implementations, and global ramifications. Corporate Frontlines: Understand how global corporations, often in possession of data surpassing that of nations, are navigating this new landscape--balancing user trust, regulatory compliance, and their own digital security. Digital Rights and Wrongs: Delve into the ethical quagmire of digital sovereignty, tackling questions about privacy, freedom of information, censorship, and the global impact of localized digital policies. Defense Strategies: A pragmatic guide to contemporary cybersecurity practices, tools, and strategies, tailored for different stakeholders--from nations and corporations to individuals. The Road Ahead: Speculative insights into the future of digital sovereignty and cybersecurity. Will the digital world splinter into fractured sovereignties, or is there a middle path that upholds both security and openness? Throughout the book, the author effortlessly blends technical details with gripping narratives, making complex cybersecurity concepts accessible and engaging for both tech-savvy readers and those new to the domain. "Securing the Connected World" is more than just a book about cybersecurity; it's a profound exploration of how the digital realm is reshaping geopolitics, human rights, and individual identities. It's a must-read for policymakers, tech professionals, business leaders, and anyone eager to understand the challenges and opportunities of our interconnected digital future.
