DESCRIPTION:
Unabridged, 8 CDs, 10 hoursRead by Lloyd JamesA former top-level National Security Agency insider goes behind the headlines to explore America's next great battlefield: digital security. An urgent wake-up call that identifies our foes; unveils their methods; and charts the dire consequences for government, business, and individuals.
A wake up call . like ice water being thrown on you. This book is a sobering reminder of what can happen when we as a country think they are the best and the strongest the all powerful. So much of this book focuses on China being one of the sources of these asymmetric cyberattacks. I would like to think that the very nature of cyberwarfare does not come from a country but from an organized ideology. Joe Brenner does a excellent job at point out where the country's weakness in a thought provoking manner. I wish our leaders and educators would read this book and prepare the country NOW for this type of "new" war. This should be mandatory reading . "An Accessible, Complex Book on National Digital Security" according to Bart Mallio. There are a number of books available on the subjects of cyberwarfare, cybercrime, and state-sponsored espionage. The majority of these books tend to address only one of these subjects. The best of them provide nuanced, in-depth treatments of their subjects, but demand a specialized, pre-existent body-of-knowledge in order to be fully appreciated. Unfortunately, the worst of these books are often those aimed at a general audience, where an intelligent discussion of the real issues at hand is often exchanged for anxiety and hyperbole.Joel Brenner's _America the Vulnerable: Inside the New Threat Matrix of Digital Espionage, Crime. Past Worshipful Dingus said Invaluable! Please read this.. This book masterfully outlines the cyber vulnerabilities of the United States and helps readers to understand why we should be worried and pay much more attention to our own privacy and security. Brenner is a National Security Agency insider who writes with first-hand experience. I am an Intelligence Studies student and a former government employee and this book has been a tremendous reference and resource for me. I urge you all to read it carefully and pay much more attention to how you handle your online lives.
"Cybercrime, espionage, and warfare are among the great challenges of this century, but as Joel Brenner argues, we are woefully ill-prepared to meet them. Drawing on history, law, economics, common sense, and his rare experience in counterintelligence, Brenner deftly describes the problems and offers a series of very practical solutions. This book is both well written and convincing."
