Cyber Vaccination Volume 4 Cyber Security for Americas Critical Infrastructure: Cyber Security for Americas Critical Infrastructure

America’s critical infrastructure includes direct and indirect structures such as private and government agencies, as well as organizations and individual leaders. All of these structures are defenseless against domestic and international threats. Threats ranging from acts of terrorism and script kiddies, to state sponsored groups are capable of launching cataclysmic attacks against America’s critical infrastructure. Any point of entry, be it land, sea, air, space, or cyberspace are vulnerable to an attack. The frequency and severity of these threats continues to increase with continual advances in technology and uses of the internet. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies, the military, and policy makers have scrambled helplessly to plan, develop, and implement strategies to detect, mitigate, and recover from cyber-attacks.Cyber Vaccination Volume 4: Cyber Security for Critical Infrastructure takes readers on a journey from understanding current policy on cyber security, to understanding the technical vulnerabilities of network systems. This volume also emphasizes the importance of protecting critical infrastructure against acts of terrorism, by recognizing and understanding how adversaries can manipulate cyber-space to commit acts of terrorism. America’s adversaries use the internet to recruit, train and communicate with networks of terrorist armies, information system armies called botnets and human terrorism networks to attack America’s critical infrastructure. Understanding this scheme will provide American agencies with the proactive measures necessary for the implementation of a robust defense system that would certainly mitigate attacks against America.
