The spread of modern information technologies has brought about considerable changes in the global environment, ranging from the speed of economic transactions to the nature of social interactions to the management of military operations in both peacetime and war. The development of information technology makes it possible for adversaries to attack each other in new ways and with new forms of damage, and may create new targets for attack. As information technology has come to play an important and vital role in all sectors o society, security has become an essential component of information technology. The potential security threats and risks have to be carefully assessed in every situation, and it is absolutely vital that all concerned are made aware of the threats and risks that affect them, and over which they have control. This book articulates on how warfare in the information age can devastatingly strike in an instant from across the globe, and that traditional military forces may be no match for superior technologists bent on stealing proprietary information, destroying the information infrastructure and thus the economy, or changing the military balance of power between adversarial nations. A comprehensive examination of the latest techniques and mechanisms, used to help protect internet and intranet access and communication services, are also well-discussed. It also explores the necessity to establish a strong operational relationship with both civil and military law enforcement organizations in order to be able to react quickly to potential cyber warfare.
