Bradley Fowler – författare

Since 2000, many governments, parliaments, and ministries have worked diligently to define effective guidelines that safeguard both public and private sector information systems, as well as information assets, from unwanted cyberattacks and unauthorized system intrusion. While some countries manage successful cybersecurity public policies that undergo modification and revision annually, other countries struggle to define such policies effectively, because cybersecurity is not a priority within their country. For countries that have begun to define cybersecurity public policy, there remains a need to stay current with trends in cyber defense and information system security, information not necessarily readily available for all countries. This research evaluates 43 countries'' cybersecurity public policy utilizing a SWOT analysis; Afghanistan, Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Chili, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dubai, Egypt, Estonia, European Union, Finland, Gambia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Samoa, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Vietnam; to transparently discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats encompassing each of these 43 countries'' cybersecurity public policies.

The primary vision for this title is to create an educational resource that benefits both the public and the private sectors. Without clarity on cybersecurity public policy, there remains a gap in understanding how to meet these needs worldwide. Furthermore, while more than 43 countries have already enacted cybersecurity public policy, many countries neglect translating their policy into English; this impacts the ability of all countries to communicate clearly and collaborate harmoniously on this subject matter. This book works to fill the “gap”, stop the spread of misinformation, and become the gateway to understanding what approaches can best serve the needs of both public and private sectors. Its goals include educating the public, and, in partnership with governments, parliaments, ministries, and cybersecurity public policy analysts, helping mitigate vulnerabilities currently woven into public and private sector information systems, software, hardware, and web interface applications relied upon for daily business activities.

Healthcare organizations and institutions of higher education have become prime targets of increased cyberattacks. This book explores current cybersecurity trends and effective software applications, AI, and decision-making processes to combat cyberattacks. It emphasizes the importance of compliance, provides downloadable digital forensics software, and examines the psychology of organizational practice for effective cybersecurity leadership.

Since the year 2000, research consistently reports devasting results of ransomware and malware attacks impacting healthcare and higher education. These attacks are crippling the ability for these organizations to effectively protect their information systems, information technology, and cloud-based environments. Despite the global dissemination of knowledge, healthcare and higher education organizations continue wrestling to define strategies and methods to secure their information assets, understand methods of assessing qualified practitioners to fill the alarming number of opened positions to help improve how cybersecurity leadership is deployed, as well as improve workplace usage of technology tools without exposing these organizations to more severe and catastrophic cyber incidents.

This practical book supports the reader with downloadable digital forensics software, teaches how to utilize this software, as well as correctly securing this software as a key method to improve usage and deployment of these software applications for effective cybersecurity leadership. Furthermore, readers will understand the psychology of industrial organizational practice as it correlates with cybersecurity leadership. This is required to improve management of workplace conflict, which often impedes personnel’s ability to comply with cybersecurity law and policy, domestically and internationally.

Learn how to deploy information assurance risk management strategies that align with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s recommendations. This book will show you how to implement information assurance risk management strategies within your organization.
