review 1: Great book bringing together real events to show how we are not only at risk, but have already been hit with significant events. Some of the details when correlated brought new light into many small news events over the last few years, and demonstrate how badly exposed we really are. It also shows how complacent our government and business managers can be in protecting sensitive data. This is a must read to help understand things like the Snowden fiasco, Chinese industrial espionage, data breaches and why banks typically cover fraudulent charges on your bank or credit cards. Many interesting details, and delivered in a readable manner.
review 2: Incredibly good book. It's written by the former counterintelligence executive for the NSA and he worked extensiv... moreely on computer network issues. The book looks at cyber security from many sides. He talks about how the internet has changed culture, how it affects business, politics, intelligence agencies, national security. He gives concrete examples of vulnerabilities in the system and how they can be addressed and does a very good job of explaining how the lack of cyber security in private companies and industry is a critical threat to overall national security. I highly recommend this. less
