Richard A. Clarke

    27. říjen 1950

    Richard Alan Clarke se po tři desetiletí věnoval veřejné službě, během níž se zaměřoval na otázky národní bezpečnosti a boje proti terorismu. Jeho kariéra zahrnovala práci pro ministerstvo zahraničí i klíčové role v Radě národní bezpečnosti napříč několika prezidentskými administrativami. Clarke se proslavil svým otevřeným kritikou reakce na terorismus před útoky z 11. září a válečným rozhodnutím v Iráku, což z něj učinilo kontroverzní, ale vlivnou postavu v debatách o národní bezpečnosti.

      Last Wicket Stand is an honest account of one man's search for meaning, purpose and reinvention, both for himself and the sport he loves. At the start of the 2020 season, English county cricket faced radical change. The Hundred was coming, introducing new 'franchises' playing a new format in the hope of attracting much-needed new audiences. Its inception was controversial. Advocates argued only drastic action could halt the decline of cricket in the UK. Opponents feared it would undermine the very fabric of the much-loved county game. One devoted Essex fan set out to document the last summer before the big change. He toured the country in 2019 chronicling this often-ignored sport, from the gentle lullaby of the County Championship to the bawdy singalong of T20 Finals Day. Richard Clarke was in his 50th year, at a personal crossroads and fearing his best days may be long gone. Change vs tradition, growth vs security, money vs meaning - these perennial struggles lie at the heart of this absorbing and revealing journey of redemption.

      This urgent assessment explores how governments, businesses, and individuals can combat criminal hackers intent on creating a digital war zone. As we navigate an age where online threats have tangible consequences—from the Stuxnet attack on Iran's nuclear program to the 2017 cyber battle that disrupted hospitals in Britain—it's clear that we cannot allow autocrats and criminals to dominate cyberspace. The authors, seasoned cybersecurity experts Richard A. Clarke and Robert K. Knake, provide an engrossing tour of this often-misunderstood terrain, highlighting the experiences of scientists, executives, and public servants who have successfully defended against cyber threats. They delve into quantum-computing labs developing cyber superweapons, the boardrooms of hacked firms, and the U.S. intelligence community's efforts to protect elections from foreign interference. Focusing on actionable solutions rather than fear, they advocate for "cyber resilience," which involves creating systems that withstand attacks, increasing the costs for cyber criminals, and avoiding overreactions. Ultimately, Clarke and Knake emphasize the importance of maintaining cyberspace as a thriving engine of economic growth and human progress, rather than succumbing to those who would turn it into a conflict-ridden wasteland.

      Cyber War
    • Security expert Richard A. Clarke goes beyond "geek talk" to succinctly explain how cyber weapons work and how vulnerable America is to the new world of nearly untraceable cyber criminals and spies. This sobering story of technology, government, and military strategy involving criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers begins the much needed public policy debate about what America's doctrine and strategy should be, not just for waging, but for preventing the First Cyber War
