Cyberwarfare, a term that encompasses a wide range of computer-based attacks on targeted enemy states, has emerged as one of the most pressing national security concerns of the 21st century. All around the world, the scramble to shield thoroughly computerized military and infrastructure resources from cyber attacks is intensifying. Military experts, for example, believe that Ukraine's ability to defend its cyberspace from Russian cyber attacks was one of the key reasons Russia's dramatic 2022 invasion of neighboring Ukraine failed to topple the Ukrainian government in Kiev.
This all-in-one resource explains the world of cyber warfare in authoritative but lay friendly terms. First, it details the historical evolution of cyber warfare and the different forms it can take, from crippling attacks on power grids and communications networks to secret intelligence gathering. From there it moves into a wide-ranging exploration of the main controversies and issues surrounding cyber security and cyber warfare, as well as coverage of major cyber warfare attacks, the organizations responsible, and the steps that the United States and other countries are taking to protect themselves from this constantly evolving threat.
Like all books in the Contemporary World Issues series, this volume features a suite of "Perspectives" in which cyber warfare experts provide insights on various elements of cyber warfare. Other features include informative primary documents, data tables, chronology, and a glossary of terms.

      The second edition of this timely handbook chronicles the evolution of cyber capabilities to their current and potential military applications for combat. Foreign Policy Research Institute research fellow Springer (military studies and research, Air Command and Staff Coll.; Propaganda from the American Civil War) addresses issues ranging from the threats of information exposure faced by U.S. civilians to the race to match the cyber capabilities of other nations, such as China. The U.S. faces vulnerabilities as cyber warfare becomes an increasingly prominent tactic in global military conflicts. This book provides an overview of existing cyber warfare literature that focuses on the growing significance of cyber operations. Springer examines efforts to establish secure networks by government agencies and includes contributions from leading experts, including commanders and innovators in the field on cyber attacks. The handbook also covers detecting cyber intrusions and data breaches. The key organizations involved span government, military, industry, and academia. VERDICT Comprehensive, valuable, excellent resource on cyber warfare. It's essential for collections.--Susan McClellan
