Book Description
A groundbreaking exploration of how to identify and fight security threats at every level
This revolutionary book combines real-world security scenarios with actual tools to predict and prevent incidents of terrorism, network hacking, individual criminal behavior, and more. Written by an expert with intelligence officer experience who invented the technology, it explores the keys to understanding the dark side of human nature, various types of security threats (current and potential), and how to construct a methodology to predict and combat malicious behavior. The companion CD demonstrates available detection and prediction systems and presents a walkthrough on how to conduct a predictive analysis that highlights proactive security measures.
Guides you through the process of predicting malicious behavior, using real world examples and how malicious behavior may be prevented in the future
Illustrates ways to understand malicious intent, dissect behavior, and apply the available tools and methods for enhancing security
Covers the methodology for predicting malicious behavior, how to apply a predictive methodology, and tools for predicting the likelihood of domestic and global threats
CD includes a series of walkthroughs demonstrating how to obtain a predictive analysis and how to use various available tools, including Automated Behavior Analysis
Predicting Malicious Behavior fuses the behavioral and computer sciences to enlighten anyone concerned with security and to aid professionals in keeping our world safer.
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Foreword by Dr. Eric Cole
Identify and fight security threats at every level with groundbreaking tools
Whether it’s a terrorist attack, network hack, or criminal activity, the threats are growing and security remains a top concern. This book arms you with the real-world security scenarios and tools needed to predict and prevent the next incident from occurring. You’ll gain expert insight into how malicious behaviors from the past can help you understand future events. You’ll then learn how to apply software, modeling, and methods to effectively fight this behavior and achieve a paradigm shift in security.
Gain a better understanding of malicious intent and predicting malicious behavior
Learn about the threats and security nightmares we face every day and our current reactions to them
Prevent malicious behavior from occurring in the future with the help of real-world examples
Dissect behavior and utilize the available tools and methods for enhancing security
