The Annual (ICGS) International Conference is an established platform in which se- rity, safety and sustainability issues can be examined from several global perspectives through dialogue between academics, students, government representatives, chief executives, security professionals, and research scientists from the United Kingdom and from around the globe. The 2009 two-day conference focused on the challenges of complexity, rapid pace of change and risk/opportunity issues associated with modern products, systems, s- cial events and infrastructures. The importance of adopting systematic and systemic approaches to the assurance of these systems was emphasized within a special stream focused...
The rapid growth of internet, digital, social media and mobile users in Southeast Asia has increased the possibility of cyber misuse. The digital domain connects over half of the region population, opening economic possibilities, but also increasing their vulnerability to crimes and security breaches done via the internet. Aside from the cyber security challenges faced by individuals and businesses, national governments that increasingly provide their services online, as well as manage physical infrastructures that are digitally connected, have become more fragile toward cyber espionages and attacks. Furthermore, not only governments are obliged to protect national cyber security and the wel...
Malicious software - designed to infect computers to steal bank details and identity information - poses a growing threat in the UK as more people use the internet and an increasing proportion of economic activity takes place online. The Science and Technology Committee say the Government must do more to help the public understand how to stay safe online. It calls for a prolonged awareness raising campaign to increase public understanding of personal online security. Eighty per cent of protection against cyber-attack is routine IT hygiene, yet currently there is no single first point of advice and help for consumers and much of the online information about internet security is often technica...
A foundational analysis of the co-evolution of the internet and international relations, examining resultant challenges for individuals, organizations, firms, and states. In our increasingly digital world, data flows define the international landscape as much as the flow of materials and people. How is cyberspace shaping international relations, and how are international relations shaping cyberspace? In this book, Nazli Choucri and David D. Clark offer a foundational analysis of the co-evolution of cyberspace (with the internet as its core) and international relations, examining resultant challenges for individuals, organizations, and states. The authors examine the pervasiveness of power an...
This book is aimed at managerial decision makers, practitioners in any field, and the academic community. The chapter authors have integrated theory with evidence-based practice to go beyond merely explaining cybersecurity topics. To accomplish this, the editors drew upon the combined cognitive intelligence of 46 scholars from 11 countries to present the state of the art in cybersecurity. Managers and leaders at all levels in organizations around the globe will find the explanations and suggestions useful for understanding cybersecurity risks as well as formulating strategies to mitigate future problems. Employees will find the examples and caveats both interesting as well as practical for e...
While difficult to define conclusively, cyberterrorism involves using computer systems to create chaos and fear in order to harm individuals or larger groups such as organizations or nation states. Acts of cyberterrorism can be a major threat to infrastructure and security. But how realistic a threat are they? Some experts claim that despite their dramatic scope, cyberterrorist acts are mostly exaggerated by the media. Others counter that such threats should be taken very seriously. The viewpoints in this resource debate the potential damage created by cyberterrorism, how it can be prevented, and who is responsible for policing it.

This book contains the proceedings of the Tenth International Network Conference (INC 2014), which was held in Plymouth, UK, in July 2014. A total of 13 papers were accepted for inclusion in the conference (with a further three papers included in these proceedings from the Ninth International Workshop on Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis). The main topics of the book include: Network Technologies; Mobile and Wireless Networking; Security and Privacy; Applications and Impacts. The papers address state-of-the-art research and applications of network technology, arising from both the academic and industrial domains. These proceedings should consequently be of interest to network practitioners, researchers, academics, and technical managers involved in the design, development and use of network systems.
