Cyberattacks and Cybersecurity

Cyberspace touches practically everything and everyone when many everyday communications depend on information communication technologies. This new wave of connectivity is going beyond tablets and laptops; to connected cars and buildings; TVs and game consoles; and smart meters and traffic control. As we are critically dependent on cyberspace, it is inherently insecure and there will always be attempts to exploit weaknesses to launch cyberattacks. The cyber threat impacts the whole of our society, so everyone has a part to play in combating cybercrimes. This book is divided into five chapters of discussion, The Evolution of Cyberattacks, Cyber Trends, Cybersecurity Strategy, Challenges in Cybersecurity, and Cyber Risk Management, including hot topics for individuals, businesses, and governments.
