Editorial Reviews
"A timely, informative, and interesting discussion of cybersecurity and cyberterrorism. The narrative is certainly full of detail, but it moves along briskly in a compelling fashion that makes it hard to put down. ... The book is a relevant, useful, and genial mix of history, current times, practical advice, and policy goals. ... The book discusses how business and government may protect against these attacks."

Abstract
From 9/11 to Charlie Hebdo along with Sony-pocalypse and DARPA’s $2 million Cyber Grand Challenge, this book examines counterterrorism and cybersecurity history, strategies, and technologies from a thought-provoking approach that encompasses personal experiences, investigative journalism, historical and current events, ideas from thought leaders, and the make-believe of Hollywood such as 24, Homeland, and The Americans.
President Barack Obama said in his 2015 State of the Union address, “We are making sure our government integrates intelligence to combat cyber threats, just as we have done to combat terrorism.” Demystifying Total Information Awareness along with Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks, the author expounds on the U.S. intelligence community, artificial intelligence, data mining, social media, cyber attacks and prevention, causes and cures for terrorism, and longstanding issues of war and peace.
The book offers practical advice for businesses, governments, and individuals to better secure the world and protect cyberspace. It quotes former U.S. Navy Admiral and NATO's Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis: “Instead of building walls to create security, we need to build bridges.” The author also provides a glimpse into the future of Plan X and Generation Z, along with an ominous prediction from security advisor Marc Goodman at TEDGlobal 2012 that “if you control the code, you control the world.”
This expanded edition also includes new chapters and commentaries by healthcare chief information security officer Ray Balut, security engineer and Black Hat speaker Darren Manners, communications expert Andy Marken, and DEF CON speakers Emily Peed, Philip Polstra, and Jean C. Stanford.
