Ready-reference entries profile key individuals, organizations, technologies, and cyberattack events.

A chronology, cross references at the end of each entry, and a guide to related topics help readers discover and navigate content and form a more robust conceptual framework of the subject.

Updates to entries, the chronology, further readings, and the end-of-volume bibliography capture the significant developments of this ever-evolving topic.
