Information Operations: All Information, All Languages, All the Time Feature

My personal view is that the key points of the book are that:

• inter-agency sharing of non-secret information is much more important than precision delivery of secrets to the top guy;

• unclassified information on operations, logistics, beliefs, etc. is much more important that technical secret information; and

• there is a larger process called "Information Operations" (IO) that has been mis-defined in the US as offensive cyberwar and PSYOP on steroids, which in fact deals with

• the full and constant integration of global coverage in all languages all the time (including historical and cultural knowledge at the neighborhood level);

• the technologies of sharing, translating, and understanding; inclusive of online video gaming; and

• the crafting of inter-agency BEHAVIOR and BUDGETS (means) in order to achieve useful ends.

In short, it's not about secret intelligence; it is about global awareness and ethical behavior done across all the instruments of national power, wisely. As Dr. Cambone demands, we need universal coverage, 24/7, at sub-state levels of granularity, but we also need to act on that information in a timely as well as ethical manner, utilizing all of our resources, not just our military, and harmoniously integrating our intelligence and operational activities with those of other legitimate governments and non-governmental organizations.

Everyday Information: The Evolution of Information Seeking in America Feature

"To paraphrase Molière, for more than a century we have been engaged in information-seeking behavior without knowing it. From the moment we tumble out of bed our day is a perpetual cycle of information acquisition and evaluation. This compendious book brings middle-class America's quotidian information activities to life, vividly and intimately." Blaise Cronin , Dean and Rudy Professor of Information Science, Indiana University Bloomington

The New School of Information Security Feature

<>“It is about time that a book like The New School came along. The age of security as pure technology is long past, and modern practitioners need to understand the social and cognitive aspects of security if they are to be successful. Shostack and Stewart teach readers exactly what they need to know--I just wish I could have had it when I first started out.”

--David Mortman, CSO-in-Residence Echelon One, former CSO Siebel Systems

 

Why is information security so dysfunctional? Are you wasting the money you spend on security? This book shows how to spend it more effectively. How can you make more effective security decisions? This book explains why professionals have taken to studying economics, not cryptography--and why you should, too. And why security breach notices are the best thing to ever happen to information security. It’s about time someone asked the biggest, toughest questions about information security. Security experts Adam Shostack and Andrew Stewart don’t just answer those questions--they offer honest, deeply troubling answers. They explain why these critical problems exist and how to solve them. Drawing on powerful lessons from economics and other disciplines, Shostack and Stewart offer a new way forward. In clear and engaging prose, they shed new light on the critical challenges that are faced by the security field. Whether you’re a CIO, IT manager, or security specialist, this book will open your eyes to new ways of thinking about--and overcoming--your most pressing security challenges. The New School enables you to take control, while others struggle with non-stop crises.

• Better evidence for better decision-making
  Why the security data you have doesn’t support effective decision-making--and what to do about it

The 23 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address substantial cultural issues such as sensitivity, memory, spirituality, storytelling, racial characteristics etc. that have not been treated in computer science and engineering so far. The topics range from preservation of cultural heritage and traditional technologies using computers, treating models and types in cultural contents to cultural education using computers.
