Description
Book Synopsis: Countering Cyber Sabotage: Introducing Consequence-Driven, Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE) introduces a new methodology to help critical infrastructure owners, operators and their security practitioners make demonstrable improvements in securing their most important functions and processes. Current best practice approaches to cyber defense struggle to stop targeted attackers from creating potentially catastrophic results. From a national security perspective, it is not just the damage to the military, the economy, or essential critical infrastructure companies that is a concern. It is the cumulative, downstream effects from potential regional blackouts, military mission kills, transportation stoppages, water delivery or treatment issues, and so on. CCE is a validation that engineering first principles can be applied to the most important cybersecurity challenges and in so doing, protect organizations in ways current approaches do not.
The most pressing threat is cyber-enabled sabotage, and CCE begins with the assumption that well-resourced, adaptive adversaries are already in and have been for some time, undetected and perhaps undetectable. Chapter 1 recaps the current and near-future states of digital technologies in critical infrastructure and the implications of our near-total dependence on them. Chapters 2 and 3 describe the origins of the methodology and set the stage for the more in-depth examination that follows. Chapter 4 describes how to prepare for an engagement, and chapters 5-8 address each of the four phases. The CCE phase chapters take the reader on a more granular walkthrough of the methodology with examples from the field, phase objectives, and the steps to take in each phase. Concluding chapter 9 covers training options and looks towards a future where these concepts are scaled more broadly.
Details
Are you concerned about cyber sabotage and the potential catastrophic consequences it can have on critical infrastructure? Introducing Countering Cyber Sabotage: the groundbreaking book that unveils the Consequence-Driven, Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE) methodology. This game-changing approach empowers infrastructure owners, operators, and security practitioners to make significant improvements in securing their vital functions and processes.
Unlike other cybersecurity defense approaches, CCE focuses on stopping targeted attackers from causing devastating damage. We understand that the threats go beyond temporary disruptions or financial loss. The cumulative downstream effects, such as regional blackouts, transportation stoppages, or compromised water delivery systems, can have far-reaching consequences for national security and the economy.
With CCE, we validate that engineering principles can be applied to cybersecurity challenges effectively. By assuming the presence of undetected, well-resourced adversaries, we tackle the most pressing threat of cyber-enabled sabotage head-on. Our book's comprehensive chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of digital technologies in critical infrastructure, the methodology's origins, and a guide on how to prepare for engagements.
Chapters 5 to 8 take you on a granular journey through each phase of the CCE methodology, offering real-world examples, clear objectives, and actionable steps. It's an invaluable resource that equips you with the knowledge and strategies to protect your organization in ways that other approaches fail to do.
To ensure the widespread adoption of these concepts, our concluding chapter explores training options for further skill enhancement. It's time to take a proactive stance against cyber sabotage and safeguard the critical infrastructure that sustains our nation's functioning. Get your hands on Countering Cyber Sabotage, and join the movement in securing our digital future.
