SUPERCYBERHEROES First superheroes of the cyber age The book and adventures of Supercyberheroes are a mix; the dangers in cyber-space are real but the characters and incidents are the product of the author's imagination. Most of the worlds' cybernauts are unaware of the dangers in the cyberspace. Such innocence makes them easy prey in the cyber-world with traps like viruses, worms, trojan horse, phishing, ransomware and many others created and spread by cybercriminals, putting people and companies at risk of fraud, violation of privacy, security and more. In the real world, Supercyberheroes with their knowledge capture the most dangerous cyber-paedophile, the most skilled hacker, the wisest cyber spy among others, until they have the mission to search, identify and confront 'the black cyber spider'; the most dangerous and infamous cyber-criminal, with an army of 25 million zombie computers, ready to attack the internet and destroy the cyber-world. The mission of Supercyberheroes is to help and teach children how to take care of themselves online and through their cyber powers they want to show how powerful natural phenomena are.

"Dr. Martino has condensed a lifetime of adventure in technology to bring new insight and a promising outlook for our rapidly changing cyber world." - John William Mauchly, Jr. Will it rain tomorrow? Will this be a brutal winter? Is my job safe? These are but three of the millions of questions we ask and now answer each day on our cell phones, tablets, laptops, or computers. It wasn't always so. Social networking can now foment a revolution, create a billionaire overnight, or set a new standard of dress. The world population of people and computers is close to equal. Soon the microchip population will exceed that of people. How did this all happen? Who invented it? Did they become billionaires or paupers? Did they get credit for what they did or were they cheated out of fame and fortune? That's what this book is about- the people, the machines, and the politics. People, Machines, and Politics of the Cyber Age Creation is a heavily documented book, amplified with the personal knowledge and observations of the author, who knew and worked with the inventors of the Cyber Age. Dr. Martino's first person knowledge, experiences, and reflections go beyond the historic facts in writing about the triumphs and tragedies, successes and failures, promises and perils, and visions of the creators of the Cyber Age. This timely book begins with a knowledgeable survey of the impact of the computer in our lives and then goes on to portray the actual invention of the machine and the Cyber Age in the United States and around the world. A major feature of People, Machines, and Politics of the Cyber Age Creation is Dr. Martino's recounting of the infringement trial of 1972, the Honeywell v. Sperry -Rand Court Battle that misdirected the truth of what really happened. Dr. Martino's book includes consideration of the creation and growth of word processing, the Internet, cell phones, artificial intelligence, and personal computers. The book closes with a Crystal Ball look at the future. People, Machines, and Politics of the Cyber Age Creation is a must read for the student of human adventures of the mind and spirit, for those searching for the seeds of the future in the past, and for the downright curious as to what really happened to create this revolution through which we are all living.

Cyberspace is essential for socializing, learning, shopping, and just about everything in modern life. Yet, there is also a dark side to cyberspace: sub-national, transnational, and international actors are challenging the ability of sovereign governments to provide a secure environment for their citizens. Criminal groups hold businesses and local governments hostage through ransomware, foreign intelligence services steal intellectual property and conduct influence operations, governments attempt to rewrite Internet protocols to facilitate censorship, and militaries prepare to use cyberspace operations in wars. Security in the Cyber Age breaks-down how cyberspace works, analyzes how state and non-state actors exploit vulnerabilities in cyberspace, and provides ways to improve cybersecurity. Written by a computer scientist and national security scholar-practitioner, the book offers technological, policy, and ethical ways to protect cyberspace. Its interdisciplinary approach and engaging style make the book accessible to the lay audience as well as computer science and political science students.
