Cyber Intelligence: Actors, Policies, Practices

US national security compromised by Wikileaks. Towns held hostage by ransomware. Corporate websites hacked. Cyber espionage and cybercrimes are increasing in both frequency and sophistication - requiring the collection of actionable intelligence in order to combat them. Constance Uthoff provides a comprehensive overview of cyber intelligence, explaining what it is, why it is needed, who is doing it, and how it is done.

Notably, Cyber Intelligence:

• Outlines the roles of the major US intelligence agencies involved.
• Assesses significant laws and policies from the 1990s to the present.
• Compares methods and best practices across the public and private sectors.
• Looks beyond the US to explore the capabilities of actors like China, Iran, and Russia.
• Includes real-world examples and case studies.

The result is an in-depth examination of the processes and applications of spying in cyberspace, accessible to a wide range of readers. See more
