The year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic marked a huge change
globally, both in working and home environments. They posed major
challenges for organisations around the world, which were forced to
use technological tools to help employees work remotely, while in
self-isolation and/or total lockdown. Though the positive outcomes
of using these technologies are clear, doing so also comes with its
fair share of potential issues, including risks regarding data and
its use, such as privacy, transparency, exploitation and ownership.
COVID-19 also led to a certain amount of paranoia, and the
widespread uncertainty and fear of change represented a golden
opportunity for threat actors. This book discusses and explains
innovative technologies such as blockchain and methods to defend
from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), some of the key legal and
ethical data challenges to data privacy and security presented by
the COVID-19 pandemic, and their potential consequences. It then
turns to improved decision making in cyber security, also known as
cyber situational awareness, by analysing security events and
comparing data mining techniques, specifically classification
techniques, when applied to cyber security data. In addition, the
book illustrates the importance of cyber security, particularly
information integrity and surveillance, in dealing with an
on-going, infectious crisis. Aspects addressed range from the
spread of misinformation, which can lead people to actively work
against measures designed to ensure public safety and minimise the
spread of the virus, to concerns over the approaches taken to
monitor, track, trace and isolate infectious cases through the use
of technology. In closing, the book considers the legal, social and
ethical cyber and information security implications of the pandemic
and responses to it from the perspectives of confidentiality,
integrity and availability.
