Cyber attacks: awareness

Abstract

In this excerpt from his book, Cyber Attacks: Protecting National Infrastructure, cyber-security expert Edward G Amoroso looks at how you detect infrastructure attacks, manage vulnerability information and manage risk. He examines the problems of recognising when and if you are under attack, and how to best collect, present and disseminate security and vulnerability information. He also explores the difficulties inherent in assessing risk. And he outlines models for a Security Operations Centre (SOC) and a national cyber-security awareness programme.
