Security is a topic that we introduced to Computer Networks: A Systems Approach back in the second edition, i.e., in the late 1990s. We took a network-centric approach to the topic, which made sense for a networking textbook, but clearly network security is only a small part of the total cybersecurity landscape. A book on the Systems Approach to security sits high on our to-do list. This week’s newsletter is an effort to capture some of the ideas that will eventually form the basis for such a book.
