ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book adopts a conversational tone; it is neither a classic textbook intended exclusively for academia nor a how to book, focusing solely on corporations and law enforcement. The intention is deliberately interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in order to address legal and policy aspects of cyber security. Cybersecurity and cyberterrorism are like a mirror of each other: Cybersecurity is the response to cyberterrorism; cyberterrorism can be mitigated only by effective cybersecurity. The book presents a series of vignettes, created as exercises intended to confront the reader with the dilemmas involved in cybersecurity. The vignettes highlight the constant threat of cybersecurity and the fast-pace evolution of the threat against the various audiences. The book emphasizes cybersecurity in the future, the enormity of the risk, and the steps to be taken to mitigate that risk.
