Ben Buchanan, The Cybersecurity Dilemma: Hacking, Trust, and Fear Between Nations. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 2016

摘要

For now and the future, cyber security challenges remain central to state conflicts from small discussions to continent-spanning disagreements. The cyber perspective’s analytical key to these discussions deciphers the motivation for how nations act across the Global Cyber Commons (GCC). Ben Buchanan, in The Cybersecurity Dilemma:Hacking, Trust, and Fear Between Nations, codifies how, and why, cyber security challenges differ from more traditional national struggles while providing a format for future analysis. Excellent overall, the book delivers high-level perspectives, covers offensive and defensive network basics, and avoids derailing into detailed technical discussions. After establishing sound foundations, Buchanan next demonstrates the appropriate lens for cyber security problems and associated mitigations. The Cybersecurity Dilemma coherently packages much-needed insight into one of today’s most challenging areas. Anyone whose professional or personal concerns deal with cyber security should immediately pick up a copy. Well researched and smoothly written, this text makes a valuable, and needed, addition to any strategist’s shelf.
