The Cavendish banana, seriously threaten now by a variant of same pathogen that wroke havoc 50 years ago on the Gros Michel, is another example of the dangers of massive monoculture in the Biological World.

In this work, we briefly introduce and discuss some of the diversity measures
used in Ecology. After a succinct description and analysis of the most relevant
ones, we single out the Shannon-Weiner index. We justify why it is the most
informative and relevant one for measuring software diversity. Then, we show
how it can be used for effectively asse...

The propagation techniques and the payload of Duqu have been closely studied
over the past year and it has been said that Duqu shared functionalities with
Stuxnet. We focused on the driver used by Duqu during the infection, our
contribution consists in reverse-engineering the driver: we rebuilt its source
code and analyzed the mechanisms it uses to...

Suppose you assessed or analyzed the resilience of a system using approaches described in Part II of this book or similar approaches. Chances are, you determined that the resilience of the system is inadequate, at least in part. What should you do to improve it? This is the theme of Part III of this book: methods, techniques, and approaches to enhancing cyber resilience of a system, either via an appropriate initial design or by adding mitigation measures or by defensive actions during a cyberattack.
