Exposed

Discover why we'd be better off without online privacy There are few notions more valued in western civilization than privacy. But what if everything we thought we knew about that sacred concept was wrong? Join celebrated author and security expert Ben Malisow as he systematically dismantles the case for increased privacy and persuasively argues for the opposite: the end of privacy. You'll learn how increased privacy in your personal and working life only leaves you vulnerable to bullying and blackmail. At the same time, privacy for governments and militaries leads to even more sinister consequences, including an imbalance of power between rulers and the people. Finally, discover how the concept of military supremacy through secrecy is antiquated and obsolete. The author describes a world in which the end of privacy brings with it an end to unnecessary shame and the beginning of new opportunities. He explains how the end of government and military privacy can lead to better policies and more effective practices. In the end, the author makes a powerful argument for ubiquity of access, rather than government regulation of data, as the answer to our problems. Perfect for cybersecurity professionals and experts of all sorts, Exposed also belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who's interested in the currently raging debates about online security and privacy.
