the Ransomware War: Russian Cybergangs and Defense of U.S. Critical Infrastructure

The Ransomware War: Russian Cybergangs and the Defense of U.S. Critical Infrastructure examines the growing threat ransomware attacks pose to the United States and the role Russian-based cybercriminal organizations play in targeting critical infrastructure. Once considered a relatively minor form of cybercrime, ransomware has evolved into a highly sophisticated criminal enterprise capable of disrupting essential services, threatening national economies, and undermining public trust.Drawing on decades of experience in security and real-world examples, Dr. Duane A. Long provides a clear and accessible analysis of how these groups operate, the tools they use, and the vulnerabilities they exploit. The book explores how ransomware campaigns are planned and executed, why they are so effective, and what can be done to defend against them.As cyber threats continue to escalate, The Ransomware War offers a timely and compelling look at one of the most pressing national security challenges of the modern era.
