Published under the Morgan Kaufmann imprint, the Computer and Information Security Handbook (2-Volume Set), 4th Edition, edited by John Vacca, presents broad technical coverage of computer and cybersecurity theory, practical applications, and operational best practices. The reference assists information security professionals, systems administrators, application developers, and network administrators responsible for safeguarding core digital assets.

The handbook structures its subject material around expanding digital infrastructures and sector-specific operational environments. Dedicated sections outline threat profiles for internet infrastructure, smart grid networks, energy facilities, smart homes, and smart city resilience. Further chapters analyze security vulnerabilities affecting intelligent connected vehicles, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), aviation systems, and aerospace defense platforms.

This edition incorporates eight updated appendices alongside an expanded glossary. The material supports the daily workflow of security analysts, security engineers, compliance specialists, policy-makers, urban planners, and chief information officers across public and private sectors.
