Book Description

The era of cyber warfare is now upon us. What we do now and how we determine what we will do in the future is the difference between whether our businesses live or die and whether our digital self survives the digital battlefield. Cyber Warfare – Truth, Tactics, and Strategies takes you on a journey through the myriad of cyber attacks and threats that are present in a world powered by AI, big data, autonomous vehicles, drones video, and social media.

Dr. Chase Cunningham uses his military background to provide you with a unique perspective on cyber security and warfare. Moving away from a reactive stance to one that is forward-looking, he aims to prepare people and organizations to better defend themselves in a world where there are no borders or perimeters. He demonstrates how the cyber landscape is growing infinitely more complex and is continuously evolving at the speed of light.

The book not only covers cyber warfare, but it also looks at the political, cultural, and geographical influences that pertain to these attack methods and helps you understand the motivation and impacts that are likely in each scenario.

Cyber Warfare – Truth, Tactics, and Strategies is as real-life and up-to-date as cyber can possibly be, with examples of actual attacks and defense techniques, tools. and strategies presented for you to learn how to think about defending your own systems and data.

Review

"Cyber warfare is non-discriminative when it comes to the damages it causes. Not preparing to respond to cyber warfare is akin to raising the white flag before the battle begins. Dr. Chase Cunningham does an excellent job in preparing CISOs and InfoSec specialists for the battles that are already all around us and will only increase in frequency and impact."

Dr. ir Johannes Drooghaag, CEO of Spearhead Management and Cybersecurity Thought Leader

"Cyber Warfare - Truth, Tactics, and Strategies by Dr. Chase Cunningham is a monumental book and a treasure trove for anyone interested in cybersecurity. As an educator and writer, I appreciate the way Dr. Cunningham intertwines case studies backed by data on how cyber warfare has been used (and may be used in the future). The content is applicable for use as a textbook for my students in my applied intelligence and cybersecurity courses. And for those in academia (and practitioners) who want to better understand the national security implications of cyber warfare, this book should be required reading."

Chuck Brooks, Emerging Technologies and Cybersecurity Thought Leader & Evangelist, Cybersecurity Expert for 'The Network' at the Washington Post, and Forbes Contributor

"Cyber Warfare -Truth, Tactics and Strategies is a magnificent book and I believe it belongs in the Cybersecurity Canon Hall of Fame"
