Guide to Cybersecurity in Digital Transformation Trends, Methods, Technologies, Applications and Best Practices

<p>In today’s digital transformation environments, a rigorous cybersecurity approach to effective risk management — including contingency planning, outlining immediate actions, preparing post-breach responses — is central to defending organizations’ interconnected computer systems, networks, and infrastructure resources from malicious cyber-attacks.</p><p>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.</p><p><b>Topics and features:</b></p><p></p><ul><li>Explores cybersecurity’s impact on the dynamics of interconnected, complex cyber- and physical systems, infrastructure resources, and networks</li><li>Provides numerous examples of applications and best practices</li><li>Considers methods that organizations can use to assess their cybersecurity awareness and/or strategy</li><li>Describes anomaly intrusion detection, a key tool in thwarting both malware and theft (whether by insiders or external parties) of corporate data</li><li>Addresses cyber-attacker profiles, cyber-attack models and simulation, cybersecurity ontology, access-control mechanisms, and policies for handling ransomware attacks</li><li>Discusses the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge, CIS Critical Security Controls, and the ISA/IEC 62442 Cybersecurity Standard</li></ul><p></p>Gathering all the relevant information, this practical guide is eminently suitable as a self-study resource for engineers, scientists, computer scientists, and chief information officers. Further, with its many examples of best practices, it can serve as an excellent text for graduate-level courses and research into cybersecurity.<br><p></p><p><b>Dietmar P. F.
