Reviews

'Theoretically astute and empirically detailed, this book shows how the discursive tactics of internet security companies co-construct cybersecurity as a powerful object of national security. By shedding light on the role of private expertise in cybersecurity knowledge creation in new ways, Andrew Whiting's timely contribution will be beneficial for future generations of critical cybersecurity scholars' Myriam Dunn Cavelty, ETH Zurich 'A sophisticated yet accessible exploration of an under-researched site of expert discourse that is recommended reading for anyone interested in cybersecurity. It is empirically robust, methodologically rigorous and rich in theoretical insights.' Stuart Macdonald, Swansea University -- .
