Download Listening In: Cybersecurity in an Insecure Age AudioBook Free
A cybersecurity expert and former Google personal privacy analyst's immediate call to protect devices and systems against malicious hackers and misinformed policymakers. New solutions have provided both extraordinary convenience and new risks. The same types of digital systems that enable you to hail a drive using your smartphone let vitality grid providers control a country's electricity - and these personal, commercial, and government systems are all vulnerable. In Ukraine, anonymous hackers shut off electricity to almost 230,000 people for six time. North Korean hackers destroyed systems at Sony Pictures in retaliation for a film that mocked Kim Jong-un. And Russian cyberattackers leaked Democratic National Committee emails so that they can sway a US presidential election. And yet despite such noted risks, government agencies, whose investigations and surveillance are stymied by encryption, push for a weakening of protections. In this accessible and riveting book, Susan Landau makes a persuasive case for the need to secure our data, describing how exactly we must maintain cybersecurity in an insecure age.
