Please [[#Navigation|see below]]. It is intended as a tool/resource for researchers, technologists, students, policy-makers and others who are interested in cybersecurity issues more broadly. For more information about this first phase of the project, including the team, methodology, and opportunities to contribute, please see [[About|About the Project]].
==Cybersecurity Overview==
 
The term “Cybersecurity” encompasses a range of issues from cybercrime to cyberwarefare. These in turn embrace a diverse set of activities and interests.
 
Cybercrime, for example, can refer to a lone hacker breaking into a single computer to an organized network of computer criminals collecting thousands or millions of credit card numbers and/or personal information records from multiple sources. Responses to cybercrime range from offering incentives to individuals, manufacturers and/or corporations to protect against malware and botnet attacks to decisions about insurance and risk management.
 
Cyberwarfare attacks include covert espionage attacks against secure systems to collect sensitive national security information, distributed attacks against the civilian infrastructure to cause widespread failures of energy and/or communication systems or targeted attacks against military targets with the intent to render offensive and defensive systems inoperable or to take control of systems with the ability to deliver kinetic attacks. These attacks all create complicated questions of attribution and law, as the normal laws of war are of questionable value when applied to threats delivered domestically from a anonymous source in a distant location. In addition, deterrence, offensive actions and defensive response often become blurred in the cyber realm, requiring a fresh look at what policies such as “no first strike” mean in cyberspace.
 
Solutions to these problems will involve addressing questions of economics, incentives, law, legislation, politics, government-private cooperation and international diplomacy. Government, industry, the military and the public must all play a role in deciding how much cybersecurity is needed and who will pay for it. These stakeholders must also address the tradeoffs between privacy and security that often arise in addressing cyber threats. Finally, there needs to be a way to measure the threat and the protections put in place so that the players can make intelligent choices in allocating scare resources.
 
==Key Resources==
Because this bibliography encompasses such a wide range of cybersecurity issues, the most convenient way to get started is to look through the
[[Organized by Topic | Annotated Bibliography]] for the key issue or and theme of interest. For example, [[Cybercrime | "Issues/Cybercrime"]] or [[Financial_Institutions_and_Networks | "Threats and Actors/Security/Targets/Public Critical Infrastructure/Financial Institutions and Networks"]]
 
The [[Organized by Topic#Overview | Table of Contents]] can also be searched according to '''Resource Types''', including:
[[Government Reports]], [[Industry Reports]] and [[Books]]. 
 
It can also be searched starting at each of the '''Broad Topics''': [[Organized_by_Topic#Threats_and_Actors | Threats and Actors]], [[Organized_by_Topic#Issues | Issues]], and [[Organized_by_Topic#Approaches | Approaches]].
 
The comprehensive '''List of Articles''' is available here: [[Comprehensive Index]]
 
To search via specific '''Key Words''', please review our [[Keyword Index and Glossary of Core Ideas]]
 
References can be accessed in a standard bibliographic format ([http://www.bibtex.org/ BibTeX]) here: [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cybersecurity/Special:Bibliography Bibliography]
 
==Ongoing Work==
 
'''A Note on Methodology''': The materials featured in this wiki are just a starting point for our inquiry. They were selected as foundational documents on the recommendation of select researchers. During the next phase of the project, experts, policy-makers, academics, and others will be asked to review and evaluate the current collection and make recommendations for additional resources to include. We have also included a list of suggested materials for review and possible inclusion in the next phase of the project.
 
Additional articles for consideration are listed here: [[Suggested References to Add to Wiki]]
