Bücher von Reza Montasari

This book represents an interdisciplinary academic endeavour intended to provide readers with a comprehensive, balanced, and nuanced examination of critical issues at the intersection of cyberspace, cyberterrorism, and national and international security. It draws insights from a range of diverse fields, including Computer Science, Social Science, Political Science, International Relations, Criminology, and Law. Furthermore, the book investigates the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies, exploring their dual role in this dynamic landscape of contemporary cyberthreats, with both constructive and malicious implications.The book comprises four distinct themes, with each theme represented by a dedicated Part. Within this organisational framework, each overarching theme is systematically explored through a series of chapters, providing readers with a clear and thematic roadmap for their journey through the content.Part I, Understanding Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism Strategies, of the book explores complexities surrounding contemporary global security challenges. It serves as the foundational segment of the book, consisting of three chapters that critically analyse various dimensions of terrorism and the strategies implemented to combat it.Part II, Cyberterrorism Landscape, of the book offers an in-depth assessment of the current cyberterrorism landscape. This section comprises two critical chapters, each contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary threats posed by cyberterrorism and their implications for national security.Part III, Countering Cyberterrorism with Technology, of the book forms the core of the book's exploration into leveraging technology to mitigate the threats of cyberterrorism. This section includes four critical chapters, collectively providing an in-depth understanding of the intersection between technology and counterterrorism strategies.Part IV, Artificial Intelligence and National and International Security, of the book delves into the complex relationship between AI technology and the broader security landscape. Comprising three pivotal chapters, this section provides a detailed understanding of AI's transformative role in shaping the future of national and international security.

This book delivers insights into how social science and technology might aid new advancements in managing the complexity inherent within national and international security landscape. The digital policing landscape is dynamic and intricate, emanating from crimes that are both persistent and transnational. Globalization, human and drug trafficking, cybercrime, terrorism, and other forms of transnational crime can have a significant impact on societies around the world. This necessitates a reassessment of what crime, national security, and policing mean. Recent global events such as human and drug trafficking, the COVID-19 pandemic, violent protests, cyber threats, and terrorist activities underline vulnerabilities residing in our current security and digital policing posture. As an interdisciplinary collection of studies, this book encapsulates concepts, theories, and technology applications, offering a comprehensive analysis of current and emerging trends and threats within thecontext of national and international security. Undertaking an evidence-based approach, this book offers an extraordinarily perceptive and detailed account of issues and solutions related to the complex national and international security landscape.To this end, the book:presents insights into emerging and potential technological and methodological solutions as well as advancements in relation to integrated computational and analytical solutions that could be deployed for the purposes of national and international security;provides a comprehensive analysis of technical, ethical, legal, privacy, and civil liberty challenges stemming from the aforementioned advancements;and, accordingly, offers detailed recommendations supporting the design and implementation of best practices including technical, ethical, and legal approaches for national and international security uses.The research contained in the book fits well into thelarger body of work on various aspects of AI, cybersecurity, national security, digital forensics, cyberterrorism, ethics, human rights, cybercrime, and law. It provides a valuable reference for LEAs and security organizations, policymakers, cybersecurity experts, digital forensic practitioners, researchers, academicians, graduates and advanced undergraduates, and other stakeholders with an interest in national and global security.

This book analyses the implications of the technical, legal, ethical and privacy challenges as well as challenges for human rights and civil liberties regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and National Security. It also offers solutions that can be adopted to mitigate or eradicate these challenges wherever possible.As a general-purpose, dual-use technology, AI can be deployed for both good and evil. The use of AI is increasingly becoming of paramount importance to the government's mission to keep their nations safe. However, the design, development and use of AI for national security poses a wide range of legal, ethical, moral and privacy challenges. This book explores national security uses for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Western Democracies and its malicious use. This book also investigates the legal, political, ethical, moral, privacy and human rights implications of the national security uses of AI in the aforementioned democracies. It illustrates how AI for national security purposes could threaten most individual fundamental rights, and how the use of AI in digital policing could undermine user human rights and privacy. In relation to its examination of the adversarial uses of AI, this book discusses how certain countries utilise AI to launch disinformation attacks by automating the creation of false or misleading information to subvert public discourse. With regards to the potential of AI for national security purposes, this book investigates how AI could be utilized in content moderation to counter violent extremism on social media platforms. It also discusses the current practices in using AI in managing Big Data Analytics demands. This book provides a reference point for researchers and advanced-level students studying or working in the fields of Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Social Sciences, Network Security as well as Law and Criminology. Professionals working within these related fields and law enforcement employees will also find this book valuable as a reference.
