| Summary |
"In light of increased attacks since 2002, Global Information Warfare: The New Digital Battlefield, Second Edition provides a critical update on the nature and approaches to global information warfare. It focuses on threats, vulnerabilities, attacks, and defenses from the perspectives of various players such as governments, corporations, terrorists, and private citizens. Upgrades to the Second Edition include: revised discussions of changes and impacts of global information warfare since 2002; updated analyses of the capabilities of several nation-states as well as nonstate actors; a comprehensive list of incidents that have occurred in the past year to show the scope of the problem of GIW; discussions of post-9/11 governmental changes and shifting priorities with clearer hindsight than was possible in the first edition."-- Portion of summary from book |
