From the Internet to cable television to telecommunications, our society is dependent on information. This dependence makes us remarkably vulnerable to sabotage, theft and a host of other threats. In this thought-provoking book, Frederick Cohen moves from one case study to another, chronicling the vulnerability of our information systems. He outlines the challenges of maintaining security online and offers practical solutions that must be taken in order to manage critical security problems in the future. Exploring the entire spectrum of communications systems, including the Internet, cable television, microwave and satellite communications, radio and telephone, this text contains detailed case studies which take readers to the roots of security issues in our technological society.
