The National Academies Press released a new book available to read for free online, “Toward a Safer and More Secure Cyberspace.” From the Executive Summary:

The United States faces real risks that adversaries will exploit vulnerabilities in the nation’s critical information systems, thereby causing considerable suffering and damage.
