Cyber Insecurity: Navigating the Perils of the Next Information Age by Richard Harrison

Cyber Insecurity Reviews

Cyber Insecurity provides a comprehensive understanding to the basic complexities of the cyber world. Its purpose is threefold: first, to the layperson, explaining the critical features of cyberspace and simplifying its essential components that include many key policy issues; second, to the initiated generalist, providing relevant details and references with respect to some of the more technical and policy details; and third, to policy makers and staffers, to serve as a resource for informed work in crafting public policy. . . . I recommend this book for all military members due to its application in military operations but more importantly in our everyday lives. * Military Review *
With careful cultivation, Richard M. Harrison and Trey Herr present a comprehensive manual for policymakers concerned about the growing barrage of cyberattacks but unsure how to address them. Part primer, part briefing, and part policy agenda, Harrison and Herr's compilation is best described as a series of field reports from the Wild West of cybersecurity law. In addition to bringing together the diverse perspectives of military leaders, legal practitioners, and academics, Harrison and Herr outline four categories for discussing and prioritizing avenues of reform. Section One focuses on Securing Data, Devices and Networks; Section Two on Combating Cyber Crime; section Three on Governing the Security of the Internet; and section Four on Military Cyber Operations. Within these analytical guideposts, each chapter covers a specific topic, from the risks of connectivity in the automobile industry to disrupting malware markets. Wherever each contributors' recommendations may lead, it is clear Harrison and Herr have taken a significant step in clarifying and guiding serious policy discussion on cybersecurity. * Harvard Law Review *
Much of America seems to view all things cyber as being akin to the black arts... something more to be feared and placated than understood. No more. It's time to step out of the darkness and review the body of history and academic commentary that has been developed. And much of that has been conveniently captured in Cyber Insecurity, a real primer for anyone wanting to better understand the emerging age. -- Michael V. Hayden, Former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
Richard Harrison and Trey Herr have assembled as comprehensive a map as exists to many of the most vexing issues in computer security. Cyber Insecurity deserves to be read by policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and anyone concerned with these increasingly central issues. -- Nate Fick, CEO of Endgame Inc., and NYT bestselling author of ONE BULLET AWAY
We are just beginning to appreciate the limitless social, economic, and personal benefits of living in the hyper-connected, digital world. Cyber Insecurity identifies the risks and threats to the system upon which we become more dependent every day and the means to overcome them. A must read for those living in the digital forevermore! -- Tom Ridge, First Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and 43rd Governor of Pennsylvania
