Protecting Our Future, Volume 2, completes the comprehensive examination of the cybersecurity threats to our nation's sixteen Critical Infrastructure Sectors begun in Protecting Our Future, Volume 1. Subject matter experts offer an in-depth analysis of operational needs and suggest best practices within the remaining sectors: IT, the chemical industry, commercial facilities, manufacturing, water systems and dams, emergency services, food and agriculture, and transportation. Used separately or together, these two volumes are an excellent foundational resource, and will enable cybersecurity practitioners, students, and employers to gain ground-level insight from experienced professionals, and to develop top-of-mind awareness in the areas most directly impacting the future of our nation's security.
"Here the focus is on critical infrastructures, some not often thought of in terms of cybersecurity. Nonetheless, we ignore them at our own peril. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in protecting these systems and, by extension, our way of life." -Dr. Ernest McDuffie, Founder and CEO, The Global McDuffie Group
