Comprehensive exploration of humanity's potential for criminal activities in outer space
Space Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit is a forward-thinking resource that considers, analyzes, and provides solutions to the influence of the ignoble side of humanity in the realm of outer space, where potential for crime, corruption, piracy, and war increases as the exploitation of space as a commercial resource continues to develop. This book blends the authors' knowledge with that of subject matter experts to deliver a holistic understanding of criminality in space and help readers broaden their horizons beyond their own area of specialization.
Some of the topics explored in this insightful book include: - Space hacking, from software, data, network, and hardware risks to existing cybersecurity standards and practices in space
- Criminal organizations that might pursue criminal activities in space, including cartels, kidnappers and devicenappers, and governments
- Laws and treaties relevant to space crime, such as the Communications Satellite Act and the Outer Space Treaty of 1967
Filled with practical, thought-provoking knowledge and guidance, Space Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of professionals working in the best of humanity's institutions, including law and intelligence services, finance, insurance and risk management, corporations, and the sciences, who seek to combat what the worst of us may be dreaming up.
