Free book titled “Strategic Cyber Security”, written by Kenneth Geers (NATO CCD COE/Tallinn Manual)

Yep, you read that right, a free book.  Written by Kenneth Geers (a U.S. Representative to the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD CoE) and a “Technical Expert” for the Tallinn Manual), Strategic Cyber Security “argues that computer security has evolved from a technical discipline to a strategic concept. The world’s growing dependence on a powerful but vulnerable Internet – combined with the disruptive capabilities of cyber attackers – now threatens national and international security.”

Here’s further description from the NATO CCD COE page:

Strategic challenges require strategic solutions. The author examines four nation-state approaches to cyber attack mitigation:
•  Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
•  Sun Tzu’s Art of War
•  Cyber attack deterrence
•  Cyber arms control
