� propos de l'auteur

Dr. Daniel Ward, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Information Technology at Southern New Hampshire University. A multidisciplinary scholar, his research interests include both Operational Technology cybersecurity and Cyberpsychology. With over 15 years of leadership experience in the manufacturing technology sector, Dr. Ward brings a practical, "systems thinking" approach to his writing. This technical foundation is uniquely balanced by his background in the behavioral sciences, including advanced degrees in Psychology and Cybersecurity. He is the author of works exploring the complex intersection of technology and society, ranging from the impact of Artificial Intelligence on political polarization to the intimate dynamics of maintaining healthy relationships while navigating bipolar disorder. Dr. Ward holds a Ph.D. in Information Technology, an MS in Psychology, an MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, an MBA, and a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science, using his diverse expertise to diagnose societal and policy fractures and offer pathways toward resilience.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Cybersecurity Fear Machine challenges the prevailing narrative that America's critical infrastructure faces an imminent, catastrophic cyberattack. Drawing on historical incident data, declassified reports, and international case studies, Daniel Ward, Ph.D., argues that the perceived threat to the U.S. Operational Technology (OT) -the industrial control systems managing power grids, water treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants have been significantly inflated by a complex interplay of commercial interests, political motivations, and fragmented governance.Ward systematically deconstructs the "fear machine" an ecosystem of cybersecurity vendors eager to market solutions, consultants who promote worst-case scenarios, think tanks that shape policy discourse, and government agencies that justify expanding budgets. While cyber threats to OT are real, their nature and potential impact are routinely sensationalized, diverting resources from the fundamental issues that actually undermine national security-aging infrastructure, insecure-by-design systems, workforce shortages, and a maze of overlapping federal mandates that produce paralysis rather than protection.Spanning fourteen chapters, the book examines the historical scarcity of actual catastrophic OT cyber incidents, maps the convoluted U.S. governance landscape, scrutinizes vendor influence on policy and standards, and provides a statistical reality check on the gap between threat rhetoric and documented attacks. International perspectives from Israel, the European Union, and the United Kingdom offer contrasting models of pragmatic, centralized, and evidence-based approaches to OT security.Rather than simply critiquing the status quo, Ward charts a path forward. He proposes a federated governance model for shared situational awareness, frameworks for improved incident coordination, procurement reform to reduce vendor lock-in, and a fundamental shift from reactive, compliance-driven policy to proactive systemic resilience. A detailed action plan with 90-day, 1-year, and 3- to 5-year milestones provides policymakers, security professionals, and industry leaders with concrete steps toward meaningful reform.The Cybersecurity Fear Machine is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true state of America's critical infrastructure security and the systemic changes needed to move beyond manufactured anxiety toward genuine, evidence-based resilience. Exposing the 'Cybersecurity Fear Machine' that inflates threats to America's critical infrastructure, this book offers a data-driven analysis and a path forward for genuine resilience.
