Reviews for Cybercrime and Espionage: An Analysis of Subversive Multi-Vector Threats

Risks have evolved. We haven't. While we stabilize toward checkbox compliance, adversaries and IT accelerate onward. Adversaries know you're compliant - and do not care - they're counting on it. Let's replace faith-based dogma with intellectual honesty. As fellow Cassandras, Will and John confront you with modern threat models and challenge you to adapt .--Joshua Corman, Research Director for Enterprise Security, The 451 Group During 2010 three specific names signaled a fundamental shift in the risks that come from dealing in an interconnected world: Project Aurora, Stuxnet, and Wikileaks. This book provides the insights of an intelligence analyst on what got us to this point, and forecasts what information security professionals will be dealing with in the near future .--James Turner, Advisor, IBRS Cybercrime and Espionage was probably the most comprehensive and relevant book on the cyber security landscape written to date. The authors captured the true essence of the methods and cyber trade craft backed with use case after use case. I find this book a must have for any security professional or executive that has the responsibility for ensuring the protection of their corporate infrastructure. --Alan Kessler VP & GM HP Networking Security Products Group/TippingPoint John and Will have done a great job in framing the threat landscape and pointing out just how far we have to go in order to truly understand the cyber threats confronting us, to better secure our networks, and to mitigate risk within our respective organizations. Cybercrime and Espionage is a great read and should provide a call to action for any executive management team. Well done. --Nick Lantuh, President of Netwitness Corporation Overall, this was a really interesting reading material. The authors managed to provide a fresh perspective on the intricacies surrounding modern cyber crime of today, but have not neglected the `big picture'. --Help Net Security
