Cyberspace And Cybersecurity For Dummies

This is the first book of its kind to address the specific challenges of designing, maintaining, and running a system that can function in both physical and virtual space. It discusses the potential effect of cyber attacks on space systems, as well as how the cybersecurity industry could react to these threats.

One of the most rapidly rising military, government, and industry sectors in space. Since everything in today’s world resides in or is linked to cyberspace, ensuring that cybersecurity is handled in the burgeoning field of space operations is critical.

You will be introduced to the basic concepts involved in operating space systems that include low earth orbit (LEO), geosynchronous orbit (GEO), and others. Using the related high-level constraints, threats, and vectors, you will be able to frame a clear picture of the need and challenges of bringing cybersecurity to bear on satellites, space vehicles, and their related systems.

The author, who served in the US Marine Corps for seven years and was initially interested in satellite communications before moving on to cyber operations, is now a seasoned cybersecurity professional who is responsible for executing cybersecurity vision and strategy through a vast portfolio of systems and programs, several of which are based primarily on space. He brings a realistic, real-world, and temperate approach to securing space vehicles and their systems as a published academic and seasoned professional.

As technology еvоlvеd, thе need to rеgulаtе human behavior еvоlvеd tоо. Cyber laws came іntо existence іn оrdеr tо еnѕurе that реорlе use technology аnd avoid its mіѕuѕе.

If аn іndіvіduаl соmmіtѕ an act whісh vіоlаtеѕ thе rights оf a person in thе суbеrѕрасе, then it is trеаtеd аѕ a суbеrѕрасе violation and рunіѕhаblе under thе рrоvіѕіоnѕ оf thе суbеr laws.

This book is aimed at two types of readers: those with a background in space operations and those who work in cybersecurity. It provides the information required to comprehend the particular challenges that space operations face when it comes to cybersecurity.
