This book looks at the milieu of the cyber weapons industry, as
well as the belligerents who use cyber weapons. It discusses what
distinguishes these hardware devices and software programs from
computer science in general. It does this by focusing on
specific aspects of the topic―contextual issues of why
cyber-space is the new battleground, defensive cyber weapons,
offensive cyber weapons, dual-use weapons, and the implications
these weapons systems have for practice.

Contrary to popular opinion, the use of cyber weapons is not
limited to nation states; though this is where the bulk of news
reporting focuses. The reality is that there isn’t a sector of
the political-economy that is immune to cyber skirmishes. So,
this book looks at cyber weapons not only by national security
agencies and the military, but also by law enforcement, and the
business sector―the latter includes administrations termed
non-government organisations (NGOs).
