Stuxnet to Sunburst 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyber Warfare

Stuxnet to Sunburst 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyber Warfare

Stuxnet to Sunburst: 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyberwarfare takes the reader on a journey from the terrorist attacks of 9/11 onwards and the massive insatiable appetite focus and investment by the Five Eyes agencies in particular the U. S. to build the capability of digital eavesdropping and industrial espionage. With tens of trillions of dollars moving throughout hundreds of thousands of staff and many contractors draining the country of intelligence and technical capability the quest was simple and the outcome horrifying. No one in the world has connected the dots until now. From digital eavesdropping and manipulation of the agencies to Stuxnet this book covers how the world's first use of digital code and digital certificates for offensive purposes against the Iranians and their nuclear power facilities caused collateral damage. Proceeding to today's SolarWinds attack code-named Sunburst the same methods of exploitation and manipulation originally used by the agencies are now being used against companies and governments with devastating effects. The SolarWinds breach has caused knock-on breaches to thousands of client companies including the U. S. government and is estimated to cost more than one trillion dollars. The monster has truly been turned against its creator and due to the lack of security and defence breaches are occurring daily at an alarming rate. The U. S. and UK governments have little to no answer. The book also contains a chapter on breaches within the COVID-19 sector from research to immunisation and the devastating December 2020 breach of SolarWinds. | Stuxnet to Sunburst 20 Years of Digital Exploitation and Cyber Warfare

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy is not just the right to be left alone but also the right to autonomy control and access to your personal data. The employment of new technologies over the last three decades drives personal data to play an increasingly important role in our economies societies and everyday lives. Personal information has become an increasingly valuable commodity in the digital age. At the same time the abundance and persistence of personal data have elevated the risks to individuals’ privacy. In the age of Big Data the Internet of Things Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to fully comprehend let alone control how and for what purposes organizations collect use and disclose their personal information. Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about their privacy making the need for strong privacy champions ever more acute. With a veritable explosion of data breaches highlighted almost daily across the globe and the introduction of heavy-handed privacy laws and regulatory frameworks privacy has taken center stage for businesses. Businesses today are faced with increasing demands for privacy protections ever-more complex regulations and ongoing cybersecurity challenges that place heavy demands on scarce resources. Senior management and executives now acknowledge privacy as some of the biggest risks to the business. Privacy traditionally has existed in a separate realm resulting in an unintentional and problematic barrier drawn between the privacy team and the rest of the organization. With many regulatory frameworks to consider building an all-encompassing data privacy program becomes increasingly challenging. Effective privacy protection is essential to maintaining consumer trust and enabling a robust and innovative digital economy in which individuals feel they may participate with confidence. This book aims at helping organizations in establishing a unified integrated enterprise-wide privacy program. This book is aiming to help privacy leaders and professionals to bridge the privacy program and business strategies transform legal terms and dead text to live and easy-to-understand essential requirements which organizations can easily implement identify and prioritize privacy program gap initiatives and promote awareness and embed privacy into the everyday work of the agency and its staff. | Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

The Internet of Materials

State-of-the-art flat structures called metasurfaces can filter and steer light and sound render an object completely invisible to electromagnetic waves and much more. They can deliver automation remote operation and advanced performance to a wide variety of existing systems with applications in communications medical imaging sensing and security. However for non-specialists individual metasurfaces are currently restricted to limited reusability and accessibility. This book brings together various scientific disciplines with the aim of outlining a programmable ‘plug-and-play’ metasurface. The book focuses on a recently proposed platform – known as the HyperSurface – that provides many electromagnetic functions of metasurfaces in a single structure which can be controlled and reconfigured by software. This revolutionary approach paves the way for new opportunities in wireless communications and programmable wireless environments: HyperSurfaces could link networks with objects and physical environments and create smarter systems that are far more responsive to user demands. Walls that absorb radiation or block digital eavesdropping and wireless long-distance charging of devices are among the many possibilities. The book aspires to provide the foundational knowledge for creating an Internet of Materials enabling smart environments at any scale – from indoor wireless communications to medical imaging equipment. Although the set of disciplines involved covers a considerable span we hope that the material will benefit experts and students alike. | The Internet of Materials

Countering Cyber Sabotage Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE)

Countering Cyber Sabotage Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE)

Countering Cyber Sabotage: Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE) introduces a new methodology to help critical infrastructure owners operators and their security practitioners make demonstrable improvements in securing their most important functions and processes. Current best practice approaches to cyber defense struggle to stop targeted attackers from creating potentially catastrophic results. From a national security perspective it is not just the damage to the military the economy or essential critical infrastructure companies that is a concern. It is the cumulative downstream effects from potential regional blackouts military mission kills transportation stoppages water delivery or treatment issues and so on. CCE is a validation that engineering first principles can be applied to the most important cybersecurity challenges and in so doing protect organizations in ways current approaches do not. The most pressing threat is cyber-enabled sabotage and CCE begins with the assumption that well-resourced adaptive adversaries are already in and have been for some time undetected and perhaps undetectable. Chapter 1 recaps the current and near-future states of digital technologies in critical infrastructure and the implications of our near-total dependence on them. Chapters 2 and 3 describe the origins of the methodology and set the stage for the more in-depth examination that follows. Chapter 4 describes how to prepare for an engagement and chapters 5-8 address each of the four phases. The CCE phase chapters take the reader on a more granular walkthrough of the methodology with examples from the field phase objectives and the steps to take in each phase. Concluding chapter 9 covers training options and looks towards a future where these concepts are scaled more broadly. | Countering Cyber Sabotage Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE)

Ransomware and Cybercrime

Ransomware and Cybercrime

In May 2021 Jim Gosler known as the Godfather and commander of US agencies’ cyber offensive capability said ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt or the Internet would eat us alive. '' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced. Over the last two decades what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless nameless state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary ill-protected and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led all in the name of security. This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online. There is little to no attribution and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life our economies and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We need—no we must demand—change. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals. | Ransomware and Cybercrime
