How Nations Hack, Spy, and Shape the Digital Battlefield
Description
A deeply insightful exploration of how cyberattacks are transforming geopolitics and what individuals, businesses, and governments can do about it Code War: How Nations Hack, Spy, and Shape the Digital Battlefield is a deep investigation of the modern reality of nation-state cyberattacks and state surveillance. Author and world-renowned cybersecurity expert Allie Mellen draws on her extensive experience with nation-state cyberattacks and AI threats to break down how and why nations deploy cyberattacks and cyberdefenses in their own unique ways, driven by their military doctrine, national history, and, most importantly, geopolitical strategy. Mellen deconstructs the most infamous cyberattacks of our time to reveal how and why attacks like Stuxnet, WannaCry, and NotPetya happened and how their success altered the international landscape. She juxtaposes these attacks against the brutal reality of how nations surveil, manipulate, and control their own citizens' data. An essential resource for individuals, business professionals, and government officials, Code War demonstrates how they can use this knowledge to understand and respond to the practical realities of nation-state cyberattacks.
