AlbakiReads Editorial Cybersecurity through the lens of espionage and exposure
Cybersecurity through the lens of espionage and exposure
Joel Brenner frames digital security as a problem of visibility: governments, corporations, and individuals conduct essential business in networked environments that can be observed, penetrated, and exploited from afar. Drawing on his former roles in U.S. intelligence oversight and counterintelligence, he examines cyber espionage, hacking, and the theft of technological information as elements of modern conflict. The book also considers the limits of defensive action, distinguishing between vulnerabilities that can be addressed and the broader exposure created by an interconnected world. Published in 2013, it presents a security-focused account of how intelligence work and warfare were being reshaped by cyberspace.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in cyber espionage and national security
- Those seeking a policy-oriented perspective on computer security
- Readers curious about the intersection of intelligence work, hacking, and technology theft

A chilling and revelatory appraisal of the new faces of espionage and warfare on the digital battleground
Shortly after 9/11, Joel Brenner entered the inner sanctum of American espionage, first as the inspector general of the National Security Agency, then as the head of counterintelligence for the director of National Intelligence. He saw at close range the battleground on which adversaries are attacking us: cyberspace.
Like the rest of us, governments and corporations inhabit "glass houses," all but transparent to a new generation of spies who operate remotely from such places as China, the Middle East, Russia, and even France. In this urgent wake-up call, Brenner draws on his extraordinary background to show what we can--and cannot--do to prevent cyber spies and hackers from compromising our security and stealing our latest technology.
