Review of Counterterrorism and Cybersecurity: Total Information Awareness
Counterterrorism and Cybersecurity: Total Information Awareness by Newton Lee is a book by the author examining two major areas that are of vital importance in the world today. The author in this book examines several issues that relate to counterterrorism and cybersecurity, which are the two major priorities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Drawing from his wealth of experience and knowledge, Newton Lee, who is a graduate of the FBI Citizens Academy and has a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science, among other degrees, addresses counterterrorism and cybersecurity in this book. He examines the role that security agencies have to play and some of the challenges in the fight against terrorism, while also providing strategies to fight against terrorism and cyber attacks. It's a book that has a lot of information, creates awareness about these issues, and brings them to the forefront while also calling on the general public to become actively involved, especially in the aspect of cybersecurity, and not just leave it for security experts or IT professionals alone.
Newton Lee, in the third edition of Counterterrorism and Cybersecurity, provides the readers with a valuable tool in the counterterrorism fight. In his book, he shows ways in which the fight against terrorism can be won. He emphasized the need for education and spoke against some common stereotypes that some erroneously believe have not really been beneficial in counterterrorism efforts. The disruptive effects of cyberwarfare and cyberattacks are also examined in this book.
My favorite thing about the book is the wealth of information that it contains. Each chapter of the book contains a bibliography showing sources of information, and it points out that the author did extensive research to put together this valuable resource.
Most of the language and terms used in the book are easily understandable by all, though some of the concluding chapters of the book contain codes and computer jargon that may not be understood by those who don't code or really understand coding. While I had been able to understand the book from the beginning, when I got to these chapters, for example, chapter 15, much of the information there may not really be understood by the general public or those who don't understand computer programming. Notwithstanding, it was really informative, and I enjoyed reading through and learning new things that I did not know previously.
The book was divided into chapters and parts, thereby making it easy for the readers to follow and understand. I commend the author for putting together such a useful and informative book. Thus, I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to security experts and agents, IT personnel, company directors, heads of agencies, those who are considering a career in the FBI, and the general public. The fight against terrorism and ensuring cybersecurity is not the duty of just the government or security agents alone; each individual has a role to play. The book is exceptionally well edited.
