Much debate has been given as to whether computer security is improved through the full disclosure of security vulnerabilities versus keeping the problems private and unspoken.

This book offers the first benchmarking study of China's response to the problems of security in cyber space. This book is a health check, a report card, on China's cyber security system in the face of escalating threats from criminal gangs and hostile states.

In 2016, Germany's government presented its third cybersecurity strategy, which aims to strengthen the national cyber defence architecture, cooperation between the state and industry, and individual users' agency.

This book describes the methodologies and tools used to conduct social cyber forensic analysis. By applying these methodologies and tools on various events observed in the case studies contained within, their effectiveness is highlighted. They blend computational social network analysis and cyber forensic concepts and tools in order to identify and study information competitors. Through cyber forensic analysis, metadata associated with propaganda-riddled websites are extracted. This metadata assists in extracting social network information such as friends and followers along with communication network information such as networks depicting flows of information among the actors such as tweets, replies, retweets, mentions, and hyperlinks. Through computational social network analysis, the authors identify influential actors and powerful groups coordinating the disinformation campaign. A blended social cyber forensic approach allows them to study cross-media affiliations of the information competitors. For instance, narratives are framed on blogs and YouTube videos, and then Twitter and Reddit, for instance, will be used to disseminate the message. Social cyber forensic methodologies enable researchers to study the role of modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the evolution of information campaign and coordination. In addition to the concepts and methodologies pertaining to social cyber forensics, this book also offers a collection of resources for readers including several datasets that were collected during case studies, up-to-date reference and literature surveys in the domain, and a suite of tools that students, researchers, and practitioners alike can utilize. Most importantly, the book demands a dialogue between information science researchers, public affairs officers, and policy makers to prepare our society to deal with the lawless "wild west" of modern social information systems triggering debates and studies on cyber diplomacy.

It offers valuable insights into how digital surveillance software can be used to detect and prevent digitally facilitated crimes in Nigeria, and highlights the benefits of adopting digital surveillance software in Nigeria and other countries facing the same issues.

This SpringerBrief  contains eight chapters and presents an overview of the evolution of the Moroccan Cybersecurity Strategy. It also draws attention to the development of cybersecurity in Morocco and to ensure national security in the context of the current and developing information confrontation in the international community. However, it cannot promise to provide an in-depth examination. The issue of cybersecurity is simply too wide-ranging for our purposes. This acknowledgment is meant to encourage more detailed research into the broader topics covered in this brief to better inform current approaches to national cybersecurity performance evaluation.This SpringerBrief targets researchers interested in exploring and understanding Morocco and its efforts in implementing its national cybersecurity strategy. This brief is also a relevant reference for diplomats, executives, CISOs, cybersecurity professionals and engineers working in this related field.
