GLOBAL FORECAST: The Top Security Challenges of 2008

Edited by Carola McGiffert and Craig Cohen

This volume of essays showcases CSIS's collective wisdom on the most important security issues facing America in 2008--the major political, military, and economic challenges likely to have strategic implications for the nation. Some of these challenges depend on political developments in other countries, while others hinge on U.S. actions. Some are regional in focus; others have transnational or global reach. All have the potential to expand into full-scale crises and must be watched and managed carefully.

Top CSIS scholars look at Asia, especially China, Taiwan, the Korean peninsula, and Pakistan; Europe, including Russia, Turkey, and Kosovo; Africa (AFRICOM); Cuba; a new climate change framework; nuclear proliferation; the Iraqi refugee crisis; and America at war in Afghanistan and Iraq and the possibility of war with Iran. The main event likely to shape U.S. security in 2008, however, will transpire at home--namely, the U.S. presidential election--where foreign policy will likely play a dominant role. In an afterword, Richard Armitage and Joseph Nye offer their vision of a new approach to U.S. foreign policy that relies on the exercise of "smart power." America needs such a vision, particularly at a time of so much uncertainty.

Carola McGiffert is vice president and chief of staff at CSIS. Previously, she was a fellow in the CSIS International Security Program. Craig Cohen is deputy chief of staff and a fellow in the CSIS Post-Conflict Reconstruction Project.

Praise for Understanding Homeland Security "To illuminate Homeland Security is an ambitious undertaking in a world where the topic often generates more heat than light. Through integration of governmental, business and academic perspectives, the authors succeed in providing the reader with a vital framework for understanding. I know of no other single source that provides students and policy makers with such a thorough, yet eminently readable volume."
--Gregory Saathoff MD, Executive Director, Critical Incident Analysis Group (CIAG), University of Virginia School of Medicine   "Finally, a comprehensive and coherent textbook for the homeland security arena. The authors have undertaken a complex subject matter and distilled it into a presentable format that will have great utility from the classroom to the boardroom.  The balancing and integration of subjects that impact public and private sector organizations as well as academia provide the instructor and student with a unique text that will also serve as a ready reference long after the class has concluded."
--Paul M. Maniscalco, MPA, Gilmore National Terrorism Commission, Chairman, Threat Reassessment Panel and State and Local Response Panel

Amazon.com Customer Reviews 'A must read for students of homeland security, concerned citizens, and policymakers.'
   Reviewed on 2007-06-18
"Understanding Homeland Security" is a comprehensive examination of the past, present, and future of homeland security. An essential element, often overlooked by the media, is developed in the opening chapter, The Nature of the Threat. The authors successfully present historical terrorist events, the causes of terrorism, and the types of terror activities that are used by a variety of terror organizations to meet their agendas. The comprehensive description of terrorism, combined with the development of a working definition of homeland security found in chapter 2, provide the reader with a valuable tool to use throughout the book.

The authors also engage the reader by presenting table top exercises and case studies at the beginning and end of each chapter. Both sections are extremely thought provoking and complement the wealth of information provided in each chapter. "Understanding Homeland Security" is well designed, very readable, and is an important read for anyone interested in homeland security.

Intelligence and National Security: The Secret World of Spies, Second Edition

Dear Professor:

"Loch Johnson and James Wirtz have produced a vitally important volume on the future of strategic intelligence. At a time when U.S. and other intelligence services are adapting quickly to the new threat environment, in part by returning to the basics of collection, analysis, counterintelligence, and covert action, this volume offers historical parallels and contemporary discussions about the challenges of doing so. Drawing upon traditional and sometimes controversial experts, this book covers the rich intelligence landscape, and incorporates updated discussions on ethics and accountability, politicization of intelligence, and even a section on intelligence in other lands. One of the richest volumes on intelligence in the past decade."--Kevin O'Connell, Director, Intelligence Policy Center, RAND

OPEN TRAGET:

Where America is Vulnerable to Attack

Clark Kent Ervin

"'Open Target: Where America is Vulnerable to Attack' is the first insider's account of the formative years of the Department of Homeland Security. As its first Inspector General, Clark Kent Ervin was responsible for evaluating the department's programs and operations to determine their effectiveness. In great detail, Ervin relates the findings of numerous investigations, reports and congressional testimony issued by the Office of Inspector General concerning the security gaps that he found time and again in everything from aviation security to port security to intelligence during his two years at the department. He shows that these security gaps continue to the present day, and, indeed, additional gaps have opened in the ensuing two years since his departure from office. Ervin then goes on to lay out detailed recommendations as to steps that can be taken today to make America as safe as possible against the near certainty of another terror attack. Until these steps are taken, America will remain an 'open target.'

Reviews

“Almost five years after 9-11, we are still not safe. Clark Kent Ervin brings an inside perspective as to why and what needs to be done. A must-read for those interested in the security of our people in this age of terror.”  Tom Kean, Chairman of the 9/11 Commission and former governor of New Jersey

“Clark Kent Ervin's Open Target is a well-written, interesting, and devastating critique of the Department of Homeland Security—a critique that is made all the more timely in the wake of the department's incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina.” Peter Bergen, author of The Osama bin Laden I Know, CNN terrorism analyst, and Fellow of the New America Foundation

"Clark Kent Ervin puts the lie to Washington's bravado and bluster about the country being safer after 9/11. Open Target is a shocking first-hand account of how the wasteful, politically hamstrung Department of Homeland Security is giving the American people a false sense of security. Ervin is a true patriot for giving us instead this honest assessment of our vulnerabilities." Paul Sperry, author of Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington and Hoover Institution media fellow

"Open Target is a sobering perspective on what still must be done to secure the homeland against terrorists who remain determined to strike. You don't have to agree with everything in it to recognize what an important contribution it is to the national dialogue." John McLaughlin, former Deputy Director of Central Intelligence

“This is a critically important book. Clark Ervin knows better than anyone the challenges we face on homeland security. He describes clearly where the dangers are, what mistakes are being made, and how to fix things.” Walter Isaacson, author of Ben Franklin: An American Life and president of the Aspen Institute

IRAN'S WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION: The Real and Potential Threat

Anthony H. Cordesman and Khalid R. Al- Rodhan

There is no simple or reliable way to characterize Iran's ability to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and the means to deliver them. Iran is clearly attempting to acquire long-range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, but it has never indicated that such weapons would have chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear warheads. Iran has never properly declared its holdings of chemical weapons, and the status of its biological weapons programs is unknown. And, although the Iranian leadership has consistently argued that its nuclear research efforts are designed for peaceful purposes, Iran's actions have raised serious concerns about its nuclear ambitions.

This latest work by Anthony Cordesman and Khalid Al- Rodhan covers all facets of Iran's weapons of mass destruction. The authors analyze Iran's motivation for acquiring WMD capabilities; the history of its WMD program; its chemical, biological, and nuclear capabilities; and its delivery options, including its missile program, air force, and Revolutionary Guards. They also examine the spectrum of diplomatic and economic sanctions available to make Iran comply with the UN Security Council, as well as military options and the different ways Iran might respond. In addition, the authors explore the geostrategic implications of these options on regional stability, energy security, and the struggle against terrorism. Up to date through May 2006, this is the most current and comprehensive reference available on Iran's weapons of mass destruction.

Anthony H. Cordesman holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at CSIS. He is also a national security analyst for ABC News, a frequent commentator on National Public Radio and the BBC, and the author of more than 40 books on U.S. security policy, energy policy, and the Middle East, including The Military Balance in the Middle East (Praeger/CSIS, 2005). Khalid R. Al- Rodhan is a visiting fellow with the Burke Chair and coauthor with Cordesman of several books on energy security and military strategy, including Gulf Military Forces in an Era of Asymmetric War (Praeger/CSIS, forthcoming).

IRAN'S DEVELOPING MILITARY CAPABILITIES

Anthony H. Cordesman

Iran is a far less modern military power in comparative terms than it was during the time of the shah or during the Iran-Iraq War. Nevertheless, it is slowly improving its conventional forces, and it is now the only regional military power that poses a serious conventional military threat to Persian Gulf stability. Iran has significant capabilities for asymmetric warfare and poses the additional threat of proliferation, and there is considerable evidence that it is developing both a long-range missile force and a range of weapons of mass destruction. The disclosures made by the International Atomic Energy Agency since 2002, as well as Iran's own statements, indicate that it is likely that Iran will continue to covertly seek nuclear weapons. In this analysis and assessment, Anthony Cordesman draws on a wide variety of classified and unclassified sources to provide a clearer picture of Iran’s developing military capabilities, conventional and nonconventional.

Managing Cybersecurity Resources:

A Cost-Benefit Analysis

By  Lawrence A. Gordon and Martin P. Loeb

Cybersecurity breaches are a fact of life in today's interconnected world and the financial and business impact of unauthorized intrusions can be devastating. But how can you know if your firm is committing too much money, or not enough, to protect itself against such unseen hazards?

Managing Cybersecurity Resources provides you with hands-on analysis and answers on this vital question. An invaluable resource for information security managers tasked with establishing cybersecurity initiatives as well as financial managers who must determine how much to allocate to such initiatives, this focused yet wide-ranging book details:

• Models that quantify precisely how firms should decide on the right amount to spend on cybersecurity
• Concepts and empirical evidence for assessing the real costs of cybersecurity breaches
• Strategies for minimizing the impact of negative incidents on company valuation

The Internet is one of the great innovations of the past century. As with all innovations, it presents its users with both unprecedented opportunities and unavoidable perils. Managing Cybersecurity Resources outlines a cost-benefit framework for protecting your organization against the invasion of its information network while leaving you with the resources you need to compete and grow.

"Using economic considerations to drive cybersecurity investments is a relatively new phenomenon. It happened when it did in large measure due to the efforts of this book's authors. It's a great thing for security that they've distilled their work from the past several years into one straightforward, comprehensive discussion. As they say within its pages: 'the reality is that cybersecurity investments can, and should, be determined in a rational economic manner.' If you've got budgetary responsibilities for information security, you need to spend time with this book."
--Robert Richardson, Editorial Director, Computer Security Institute

Every day, your organization's information system is at risk of attack. And while many of these attacks are little more than harmless pranks, other more insidious assaults can wreak devastating economic and operational damages. Nobody questions that you must take tangible steps to protect the cybersecurity of your organization. Thus, the question becomes: What is such protection worth? How can you, with so many areas competing for your firm's limited resources, determine the optimal level of funding to adequately secure your information and computer systems? And, perhaps most important, how can you convince decision-makers as well as colleagues of the importance of maintaining this funding?

Managing Cybersecurity Resources details guidelines for using sound and measurable principles of cost-benefit analysis, as a compliment to gut instinct, to efficiently allocate and manage cybersecurity resources within your organization. Written by two globally acknowledged leaders in the increasingly critical area of cybersecurity, this comprehensive exploration presents:

• Key issues that impact the management of cybersecurity resources
• An economic framework for achieving sufficient cybersecurity protection
• The role risk plays in allocating cybersecurity resources
• A generic approach for making the business case for securing funding deemed necessary
• The growing role of cybersecurity in protecting national security
