Protecting Our Future

The topic of cybersecurity has been covered with broad strokes in several books, but this work by the National Cybersecurity Institute at Excelsior College delves into specific areas in considerable detail. This book will help us understand the challenges and better prepare for our future. From the Foreword by Donald Rumsfeld 13th and 21st U.S. Secretary of Defense As participation in online activities grows, so does the need for a workforce equipped to respond to the varying needs of public and private sector operations. Protecting Our Future looks at operational needs across the workforce: military, health care, international relations, telecommunications, finance, education, utilities, government, small businesses, and nonprofits, and offers an assessment of strengths and weaknesses within each subfield. Contributors introduce practitioners, as well as those considering a future in cybersecurity, to the challenges and opportunities when building a cybersecurity workforce.
