This chapter provides a historical and contemporary perspective on various issues pertaining to the security and sustainability of the emerging cyberspace, which is embedded with intelligent networking sensors and systems, as well as information technology appliances and services. In particular, it explores how to build a secure and sustainable cyberspace ecosystem in the combined cyber-physical-natural (CPN) world. Its three sections give an overview of the emerging interconnected complex cyberspace, review the infrastructure for the combined CPN cyberspace, and provide a list of intellectual tools for collaboration, education, and partnership in order to build and sustain a secure cyberspace ecosystem. Finally, it emphasizes the need for establishing an international consortium and a cyber security informatics framework to facilitate coordination and collaboration among cyber security professionals and practitioners from government, academia, and industry across national and international boundaries.Less

In this book, the world's foremost cyber security experts share critical practical knowledge on how the cyberspace ecosystem is structured, how it functions, and what we can do to protect it and ourselves from attack and exploitation. It collects the wisdom of cyber security professionals and practitioners from government, academia, and industry across national and international boundaries. It provides readers with the information they need to secure and sustain the cyberspace ecosystem and to defend themselves against all kinds of adversaries and attacks. It provides critical intelligence on cyber crime and security—including details of real-life operations. Among the many important topics it covers are: building a secure cyberspace ecosystem; public-private partnerships to secure cyberspace; law enforcement to protect cyber citizens and to safeguard cyber infrastructure; and strategy and policy issues relating to the security of the cyberecosystem.Less

This chapter focuses on the competition for power and control of the factors defining cyberspace contestation. Driving forces of cyberspace contests including the evolution of the cyberspace ecosystem, demographic shift, cyber crime, and the political economy of cyber security. The expansion of cyberspace throughout society’s every aspect is discussed, as is the increase in the use of mobile access devices. The chapter discusses measures undertaken by authoritarian states to counter anti-regime mobilization, for which cyberspace is a major factor. It highlights the issue of authority crisis in cyberspace caused by contestation and lays out issues—including political jurisdictions regarding cyberspace, responsibilities of people who control the cyberspace, and appropriate behavior for the cyberspace—which need to be discussed comprehensively to avoid the authority crisis issue.Less
