This book provides a comprehensive view of cyber operations, analysis and targeting, including operational examples viewed through a lens of conceptual models available in current technical and policy literature. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the current cyber environment developed, as well as how to describe it for future defense. The author describes cyber analysis first as a conceptual model, based on well-known operations that span from media to suspected critical infrastructure threats. He then treats the topic as an analytical problem, approached through subject matter interviews, case studies and modeled examples that provide the reader with a framework for the problem, developing metrics and proposing realistic courses of action.
