The Ethics of Cybersecurity
Markus Christen ; Bert Gordijn ; Michele Loi,
Cham: Springer , 2020
Request via Eureka
“This open access book provides the first comprehensive collection of papers that provide an integrative view on cybersecurity. It discusses theories, problems and solutions on the relevant ethical issues involved. This work is sorely needed in a world where cybersecurity has become indispensable to protect trust and confidence in the digital infrastructure whilst respecting fundamental values like equality, fairness, freedom, or privacy. The book has a strong practical focus as it includes case studies outlining ethical issues in cybersecurity and presenting guidelines and other measures to tackle those issues. It is thus not only relevant for academics but also for practitioners in cybersecurity.”

“No data is completely safe. Cyberattacks on companies and individuals are on the rise and growing not only in number but also in ferocity. And while you may think
your company has taken all the precautionary steps to prevent an attack, no individual, company, or country is safe. Cybersecurity can no longer be left exclusively to
IT specialists. Improving and increasing data security practices and identifying suspicious activity is everyone’s responsibility, from the boardroom to the break room. Cybersecurity: The Insights You Need from Harvard Business Review brings you today’s most essential thinking on cybersecurity ”

P.W. Singer and Allan Friedman
Oxford UP, 2014

P.W. Singer and Allan Friedman of the Brookings Institution reveal the mysteries of botnets and shed light on the murky areas of cyberwar and clandestine military operations.

Dark territory : the secret history of cyber war
Fred Kaplan
Simon & Schuster, 2016
Online access
Much of the work of national security agencies and private or hired-gun hackers occurs in secret and some of it involves cyberwarfare, a realm of constantly changing esoteric technology. When events come to light, they provoke considerable denial and conflicting narratives. This makes Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Fred Kaplan’s lucid history of US involvement in cyberwarfare all the more impressive.

In this useful look at a complicated subject, he explains cyberwar’s main participants and events, and he clarifies the politics and technologies involved. get Abstract recommends his welcome precision and strong moral sense to anyone interested in global politics, civil liberties in cyberspace, history, or the intersection of technology and society

How organisations can ramp up their cybersecurity efforts right now
Brenda R. Sharto
Harvard Business Review, May 01 2020
Online access

Prior to Covid-19, most companies perceived their worst-case cybersecurity scenario as a computer virus that would shut down company computer systems. In fact, just the opposite happened: a human virus has forced virtually entire workforces online, making companies more reliant than ever on their systems. The stakes of protecting those systems from a cyberattack could not be higher.

In the words of the old American Express commercial: “What will you do? What will you do?” Once a cyberattack occurs, companies largely are on their own. They have to scramble to counteract the attack and ensure that the threat actor is out of the system. They then may have to navigate industry regulators, while also trying to steer clear of the dreaded post-breach class action suit. What is a company to do?

Will Coronavirus lead to more cyber attacks?

Harvard Business Review, March 16 2020
Online access

While the world is focused on the systemic threat posed by Covid-19, cybercriminals around the world undoubtedly are poised to capitalize on the crisis by launching a different kind of “virus.” More and more employees are working remotely by the day, and companies may eventually face the prospect of functioning with little to no personnel on-site or skeleton crews in IT and other important support functions. Against this backdrop, both employers and employees need to take the utmost care to protect themselves as well as confidential company information. Here are some things for employers and employees to keep in mind to minimize the risk

The humanity behind cybersecurity attacks
Mark Burnette

“Companies spend millions of dollars every year to protect their private data from cyberattack. However, ordinary people can undermine all their hard work with
one mistake – and we often do. Most successful security breaches happen not because of sophisticated attacks, but due to human failures. In this engaging talk, one of
America’s foremost cybersecurity experts will explore the three human characteristics that hackers abuse to conduct cyberattacks.”
