Cyber Insecurity: Examining the Past, Defining the Future deals with the multifaceted world of cybersecurity, starting with the premise that while perfection in cybersecurity may be unattainable, significant improvements can be made through understanding history and fostering innovation. Vladas Leonas shares his journey from Moscow to Australia, highlighting his academic and professional milestones.
This book covers the evolution of cybersecurity from the late 1960s to the present, detailing significant events and technological advancements. The author emphasises the importance of simplicity in technology projects, citing complexity as a major hindrance to success. The book also discusses the impact of the digital revolution, using the example of a global IT outage caused by a faulty software update.
Project management methodologies are explored, tracing their origins from ancient civilisations to modern techniques such as CPM and PERT. The concept of cloud computing is examined, highlighting its benefits and potential security issues. The evolution and advantages of SaaS solutions are also discussed, noting their increased adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The author then addresses supply chain challenges, using real-world examples to illustrate vulnerabilities. He traces the history of communication methods leading up to TCP/IP and discusses the development and importance of DNS. The differences between compliance and conformance in cybersecurity are clarified, emphasising that compliance does not equate to security.
Key cybersecurity standards such as the NIST CSF and ISO/IEC 27000 series are examined. The book also covers the Essential 8, a set of cybersecurity controls developed by the Australian Signals Directorate. The convergence of OT and IoT is discussed, highlighting the cybersecurity risks associated with this integration.
Emerging threats from AI and quantum computing are explored, noting their potential to both advance and threaten cybersecurity. The evolving legal landscape of cybersecurity is also covered, emphasising the need for international cooperation and innovative legal solutions.
In conclusion, the book stresses the importance of critical thinking and a holistic approach to cybersecurity, advocating for simplicity and foundational practices to enhance security.

《網路安全的脆弱性:檢視過去,定義未來》探討了網路安全的多面向世界,從一個前提開始,即雖然在網路安全上達到完美可能是無法實現的,但透過理解歷史和促進創新,可以取得顯著的改善。Vladas Leonas 分享了他從莫斯科到澳洲的旅程,突顯了他的學術和職業里程碑。
本書涵蓋了從1960年代末到現在的網路安全演變,詳細說明了重要事件和技術進步。作者強調了技術專案中簡單性的重要性,並指出複雜性是成功的主要障礙。書中還討論了數位革命的影響,以全球IT故障的例子來說明,該故障是由於一個有缺陷的軟體更新所引起的。
本書探討了專案管理方法論,追溯其起源從古代文明到現代技術,如CPM和PERT。雲端運算的概念也被檢視,突顯其優點和潛在的安全問題。SaaS解決方案的演變和優勢也被討論,並指出在COVID-19疫情期間其採用率的增加。
接著,作者針對供應鏈挑戰進行了探討,使用現實世界的例子來說明脆弱性。他追溯了通訊方法的歷史,直至TCP/IP,並討論了DNS的發展和重要性。書中澄清了網路安全中合規性和一致性之間的差異,強調合規性並不等於安全性。
本書檢視了關鍵的網路安全標準,如NIST CSF和ISO/IEC 27000系列。書中還涵蓋了Essential 8,這是一組由澳洲信號局開發的網路安全控制措施。OT和IoT的融合也被討論,突顯了與此整合相關的網路安全風險。
本書探討了來自AI和量子計算的新興威脅,指出它們在推進和威脅網路安全方面的潛力。網路安全的法律環境也被涵蓋,強調了國際合作和創新法律解決方案的必要性。
總之,本書強調了批判性思維和整體性方法在網路安全中的重要性,倡導簡單性和基礎實踐以增強安全性。
