Reviews for Cybersecurity: Public Sector Threats and Responses

Given our increased global reliance on information and communication technologies--and the threats that come with it--the time is ripe for a book that looks specifically at cybersecurity in the public sector across the world. Having advised the United Nations on e-government since 2003, Kim Andreasson is just the person to do so. --Karen S. Evans, Administrator (Retired), E-Government and Information Technology, Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget
