Singer and noted cyberexpert Allan Friedman team up to provide the kind of deeply informative resource book that has been missing on a crucial issue of 21st-century life. W. Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know® is the definitive account of the subject for us all, which comes not a moment too soon.. Along the way, they take listeners on a tour of the important (and entertaining) issues and characters of cybersecurity, from the Anonymous hacker group and the Stuxnet computer virus to the new cyberunits of the Chinese and US militaries.

Co-written by P.W. Singer, who wrote Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st. If you've worked in IT for a couple of years If you've worked in IT for a couple of years, and if you have done your part to understand the world in which you are connected, then you might find this book to be written more for the managerial staff who decide on how they are going to invest in IT, and not so much for those who are in the trenches.
