The Fifth Domain

Defending Our Country, Our Companies, and Ourselves in the Age of Cyber Threats

By: Richard A. Clarke,Robert K. Knake

An urgent warning from two bestselling security experts--and a gripping inside look at how governments, firms, and ordinary citizens can confront and contain the tyrants, hackers, and criminals bent on turning the digital realm into a war zone. "In the battle raging between offense and defense in cyberspace, Clarke and Knake have some important ideas about how we can avoid cyberwar for our country, prevent cybercrime against our companies, and in doing so, reduce resentment, division, and instability at home and abroad."--Bill Clinton There is much to fear in the dark corners of cyberspace: we have entered an age in which online threats carry real-world consequences. But we do not have to let autocrats and criminals run amok in the digital realm. We now know a great deal about how to make cyberspace far less dangerous--and about how to defend our security, economy, democracy, and privacy from cyber attack. Our guides to the fifth domain -- the Pentagon's term for cyberspace -- are two of America's top cybersecurity experts, seasoned practitioners who are as familiar with the White House Situation Room as they are with Fortune 500 boardrooms. Richard A. Clarke and Robert K. Knake offer a vivid, engrossing tour of the often unfamiliar terrain of cyberspace, introducing us to the scientists, executives, and public servants who have learned through hard experience how government agencies and private firms can fend off cyber threats. With a focus on solutions over scaremongering, and backed by decades of high-level experience in the White House and the private sector, The Fifth Domain delivers a riveting, agenda-setting insider look at what works in the struggle to avoid cyberwar.

Internet Governance in an Age of Cyber Insecurity

By: Robert K. Knake

In this Council Special Report, Robert K. Knake briefly examines the technological decisions that have enabled both the Internet's spectacular success and its troubling vulnerability to attack. Arguing that the United States can no longer cede the initiative on cyber issues to countries that do not share its interests, he outlines an agenda that the United States can pursue in concert with its allies on the international stage. This agenda, addressing cyber warfare, cyber crime, and state-sponsored espionage, should, he writes, be pursued through both technological and legal means. He urges first that the United States empower experts to confront the fundamental security issues at the heart of the Internet's design. Then he sketches the legal tools necessary to address both cyber crime and state-sponsored activities, including national prohibitions of cyber crime, multilateral mechanisms to prevent and prosecute cyberattacks, and peacetime norms protecting critical civilian systems, before describing the bureaucratic reforms the United States should make to implement effectively these changes." --From publisher description.

Securing the GCC in Cyberspace

By: Richard A. Clarke,Robert K. Knake

In this decade, cyber security will become a market differentiator, not only for products and companies but also for countries and regions. While the Internet allows attacks to come from anywhere on the globe, targeted attacks on Gulf states are more likely to be carried out by other states in the region or by non-state actors with regional grievances. There are numerous network vulnerabilities that render countries susceptible to cyber attack. Many of these are inherent in the underlying architecture of the network and the protocols that govern communication within them, and can be exploited in distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, or attacks on critical infrastructure and government and military networks. National reputations will be made and lost in cyberspace over the next decade. Countries that cannot assure continued access to the Internet will not be attractive places to invest, work, or live. Therefore, the GCC countries should take steps to turn the GCC into a ‘safe and secure cyber zone.’ To move this agenda forward, a high-level steering committee should be formed with representatives of each member’s telecommunications regulatory authority, Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), national police, military, domain registrars, ISPs, and critical infrastructure operators. If properly staffed and funded, this effort could quickly begin to improve the security of the GCC in cyberspace, making the region a model for the rest of the world to follow.

Cyber War

The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It

By: Richard A. Clarke,Robert K. Knake

An essential, eye-opening book about cyberterrorism, cyber war, and the next great threat to our national security. “Cyber War may be the most important book about national security policy in the last several years.” –Slate Former presidential advisor and counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke sounds a timely and chilling warning about America’s vulnerability in a terrifying new international conflict. Cyber War is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. It explains clearly and convincingly what cyber war is, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. Every concerned American should read this startling and explosive book that offers an insider’s view of White House ‘Situation Room’ operations and carries the reader to the frontlines of our cyber defense. Cyber War exposes a virulent threat to our nation’s security.
