Guide to Cybersecurity in Digital Transformation / Advances in Information Security Bd.103 (PDF)

In today's digital transformation environments, a rigorous cybersecurity approach to effective risk management - including contingency planning, outlining immediate actions, preparing post-breach response - is central to defending organizations' interconnected computer systems, networks, and infrastructure resources from malicious cyber-attacks.

Specifically, cybersecurity technologies, processes, and practices need to be generalized and applied to intrusion detection and prevention measures. This entails analyzing profiles of cyber-attackers and building cyber-attack models for behavior simulation that can effectively counter such attacks. This comprehensive volume aims to cover all essential aspects of cybersecurity in digital transformation and to provide a framework for considering the many objectives and requirements involved. In addition to introducing theoretical foundations, the work also offers practical techniques for defending against malicious cybercriminals.

Topics and features:

• Explores cybersecurity's impact on the dynamics of interconnected, complex cyber- and physical systems, infrastructure resources, and networks
• Provides numerous examples of applications and best practices
• Considers methods that organizations can use to assess their cybersecurity awareness and/or strategy
• Describes anomaly intrusion detection, a key tool in thwarting both malware and theft (whether by insiders or external parties) of corporate data
• Addresses cyber-attacker profiles, cyber-attack models and simulation, cybersecurity ontology, access-control mechanisms, and policies for handling ransomware attacks
• Discusses the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge, CIS Critical Security Controls, and the ISA/IEC 62442 Cybersecurity Standard
