There is a distinct lack of theoretical innovation in the cybersecurity industry. This is not
to say that innovation is lacking as new technologies services and solutions (as well as
buzzwords) are emerging every day. This book will be the first cybersecurity text aimed at
encouraging abstract and intellectual exploration of cybersecurity from the philosophical and
speculative perspective. Technological innovation is certainly necessary as it furthers the
purveying of goods and services for cybersecurity producers in addition to securing the attack
surface of cybersecurity consumers where able. The issue is that the industry sector and even
academia are largely technologically focused. There is not enough work done to further the
trade-the craft of cybersecurity. This book frames the cause of this and other issues and what
can be done about them. Potential methods and directions are outlined regarding how the
industry can evolve to embrace theoretical cybersecurity innovation as it pertains to the art
as much as to the science. To do this a taxonomy of the cybersecurity body of work is laid out
to identify how the influences of the industry's past and present constrain future innovation.
Then cost-benefit analysis and right-sizing of cybersecurity roles and responsibilities-as
well as defensible experimentation concepts-are presented as the foundation for moving beyond
some of those constraining factors that limit theoretical cybersecurity innovation. Lastly
examples and case studies demonstrate future-oriented topics for cybersecurity theorization
such as game theory infinite-minded methodologies and strategic cybersecurity
implementations. What you'll learn The current state of the cybersecurity sector and how it
constrains theoretical innovation How to understand attacker and defender cost benefit The
detect prevent and accept paradigm How to build your own cybersecurity box Supporting
cybersecurity innovation through defensible experimentation How to implement strategic
cybersecurity Infinite vs finite game play in cybersecurity Who This Book Is ForThis book is
for both practitioners of cybersecurity and those who are required to or choose to employ
such services technology or capabilities.
