If Sun Tzu were alive today, rather than in the fifth century BC, he would be on various stages and his strategies would be all the rage for individuals and organizations alike. In The Art of Cyber Conflict, Henry J. Sienkiewicz brings his strategic and practical experience to bear as he uses the timeless strategies from Sun Tzu's The Art of War in this highly relevant and exceptionally approachable guidebook.
From a technology-independent perspective, Henry focuses on knowing and understanding cyber, the cyber environment, the cyber actors, and this constantly evolving form of modern confl ict, while concurrently providing direct approaches to recognize, remediate, and resolve the underlying threats.
"A thought-provoking and earnest view of the current cyber landscape from the classic construct of Sun Tzu. I anticipate it soon will be a key text for War College students as they explore cyber risk management strategies."
Greg Touhill, former United States Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), former Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Cyber Security and Communications, Department of Homeland Security
"Sun Tzu meets Michael Hayden. Applying the ancient lessons of war, Henry Sienkiewicz creates a framework that individuals, companies, and countries can use to understand and respond to cyber threats. Most importantly, he makes the case that cyber warfare, not cyber security, is the perspective from which the cyber space must be viewed."
Roger Baker, former CIO, Veterans Administration
A provoking and insightful book, it presents the issues of operating and defending in cyberspace with a fresh perspective that will help individuals and organizations get beyond the day-to-day and think strategically about how to change their circumstances.
