About this book

Cyberspace in increasingly important to people in their everyday lives for purchasing goods on the Internet, to energy supply increasingly managed remotely using Internet protocols. Unfortunately, this dependence makes us susceptible to attacks from nation states, terrorists, criminals and hactivists. Therefore, we need a better understanding of cyberspace, for which patterns, which are predictable regularities, may help to detect, understand and respond to incidents better. The inspiration for the workshop came from the existing work on formalising design patterns applied to cybersecurity, but we also need to understand the many other types of patterns that arise in cyberspace.

Reviews

From the book reviews:

“It is recommended reading for academics with an interest in the area. Its secondary audience would be security professionals and software developers. … This well-written book achieves its purposes--to describe the current state of research in the subject area and to outline directions for future research--quite well.” (Neil D. Burgess, Computing Reviews, September, 2014)
