Information Insecurity - Overview

Information Insecurity is an attempt to create greater awareness about the growing dangers of cyber-hooliganism, cyber-crime, cyber-terrorism and cyber-war, in an environment that offers considerable opportunities for each of these activities.

The book is divided into four parts, a first which sets out the parameters of the Problem, a second which describes the obvious Solutions, a third which highlights the missing elements in any Action Plan for the future, and a fourth which makes specific Recommendations in a do-able time frame.

The accompanying Presentations are PowerPoint slides which relate to each of the four parts of the book.

The book is targeted towards decision makers in both the public and the private sectors, in the hope that they will be motivated to sit together in a joint effort to draft and adopt a comprehensive Law of Cyber-Space.

Information Insecurity has been published jointly by the United Nations ICT Task Force and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research.
