No nation has a coherent technical and architectural strategy for preventing cyber attacks from crippling essential critical infrastructure services. This book initiates a dialogue among the general technical community around proper methods for reducing national risk. It also serves as an attractive frameowrk for a new stratgy for cyber security, something that several US administrations have failed in attempting to create.

Each prinicples is presented as a separate security strategy, along with compelling examples that demonstrate use of the principle. A specific set of criteria requirements allows organizations to integrate the principles into their local environment.
