Description

The era of cyber warfare is now upon us. What we do now and how we determine what we will do in the future is the difference between whether our businesses live or die and whether our digital self survives the digital battlefield. Cyber Warfare – Truth, Tactics, and Strategies takes you on a journey through the myriad of cyber attacks and threats that are present in a world powered by AI, big data, autonomous vehicles, drones video, and social media. Dr. Chase Cunningham uses his military background to provide you with a unique perspective on cyber security and warfare. Moving away from a reactive stance to one that is forward-looking, he aims to prepare people and organizations to better defend themselves in a world where there are no borders or perimeters. He demonstrates how the cyber landscape is growing infinitely more complex and is continuously evolving at the speed of light. The book not only covers cyber warfare, but it also looks at the political, cultural, and geographical influences that pertain to these attack methods and helps you understand the motivation and impacts that are likely in each scenario. Cyber Warfare – Truth, Tactics, and Strategies is as real-life and up-to-date as cyber can possibly be, with examples of actual attacks and defense techniques, tools. and strategies presented for you to learn how to think about defending your own systems and data.

SummaryThis book is a nice, high-level summary of the most current attack types, threat actors, protection strategies, and insights in Cybersecurity. The author begins with a history of common attacks, breaches, and attacker motivations. He makes the subject matter easily relatable whether you are a "layman" simply interested in the world of Cybersecurity or a seasoned IT veteran wanting to catch up on the latest trends in a single source. That being said, the target audience can be those with little knowledge of IT or Cybersecurity, as the book does not dive too deeply into the technical arena. However, there is enough technical information to keep those of us with decades of experience interested. The author is sure to define many of the acronyms the proliferate in this industry.The author covers many of the historic hacks and events that lead up to our current Cybersecurity setting. Antivirus, Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), and Stuxnet are just a few of the attacks covered. He then goes on to discuss problems plaguing modern network infrastructures, such as BYOD and protecting the perimeter using the traditional "Defense-in-Depth" methods. The Internet of Things (IoT) is also discussed in detail. He follows this with new trends in attack vectors, ransomware, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and DeepFakes. For those that would like to see more technical information, such as tools, the author includes some overviews of offensive and defensive Cybersecurity tools such as Infection Monkey, SNAP_R, and various open source intelligence (OSINT) tools.Overall, this is great for novices and experts alike to get quickly caught up with the latest trends. This book is highly recommended and it will quickly catch you up with past events, current strategies, and future trends.

I have been working in Cyber Security for many years, I constantly read books that have similar titles. This is not a garden variety cyber security book. Chase Cunningham is an authority in this field and his thought leadership is evident throughout its' pages. I could not put it down, and may have lost a little bit of sleep after reading about what the nation states are doing but I would rather know this information than not know it.Keep on writing Dr. Cunningham, very well done Sir!

This is a great book. I enjoyed it very much and I learned a lot from it.The book is comprehensive and is laid out very logically, with chapters that first cover the history of cyber attacks, then discusses emerging vulnerabilities and attacks (eg: autonomous cars, drones, social media disinformation, deep fakes, and much more).He then shifts to talking about what organizations can do to prepare themselves for the emerging attacks. He starts with strategic planning, then gets into some of the nitty gritty of what tools and techniques can help. Anyone familiar with the research that Cunningham does at Forrester will be unsurprised to read here about micro-segmentation, software defined networks (SDN), and his profound hope that we will all eventually #KillThePassword.This is not a perfect book. I wish his editors had been more diligent about weeding out some excess verbiage that crops up in places. Also, I found it jarring that he mentions only two security vendors and their products by name, in a book that otherwise seems to take pains not to promote any. Both vendors, have, as far as I know, fine reputations. But it feels off that these two should get such visibility.But these are niggles, to be sure, in what is otherwise a knowledgable, comprehensive book. It was clear and understandable to a non-practitioner like me, but I think that those who are hands-on with cyber security will find much here that is new and informative. I recommend the book very highly.

Really enjoyed this book. Dr. Cunningham has such a command of this topic, combined with his excellent story telling skills made this a pleasure to read while learning a great deal. A must read for any cyber executive - a book I'll expect my team to read.

Sophisticated analysis given in accessible and engaging way -This book is packed with tons of information and real world examples of cyber attacks, plus a range of high level, powerful strategies and specific tactics for how to address the cyber security challenges we face today and the looming challenges of the future. The author's military background and cyber security expertise add credence to the analysis along with many interesting military anecdotes. (full disclosure: I work at a technology advisory firm with the author, but I genuinely enjoyed this book and think you will too).
