Many of the seemingly perpendicular chapters however are intertwined horizontally with conceptually interfacing bridges and represent cutting-edge research whose applications are currently being developed. There are many advanced areas discussed, requiring more than a hand calculator, such as Java software as in most college programs. The programming aspect should rather be regarded a strength to capture many new emerging concepts. Therefore, the book provides an author-facilitated web access to implement these ideas. The author believes in a well-rounded theoretical and applied cybersecurity curriculum, in the brink of the global cyberwars, as the fastest-growing strategic area with much new advancement. This text utilizes a data analytical approach rather than heuristical and ad hoc approach that many current authors may employ through individual case studies solely without positive scientific modeling. This creative text fills a significant void in current books by providing “one-stop mall” with “neighboring-related shops” when evaluating strengths and weaknesses for risk assessment and management.
