The power to disable an enemy force without ever having to fire a shot might be closer than we think. While no one knows exactly what the future holds, it seems viruses, Trojans, and worms will continue to be used in an effort to attack and disable opposing forces across the world. If the United States wants to remain in an advantageous position in the information war, spending towards cyber security in our nation will have to increase. This book provides an enjoyable start to learning about information warfare, historical examples of how information has shaped battles, and what to expect in the years to come.

"Information systems are vulnerable and it is possible for terrorists to utilize the vulnerabilities of information systems to attack their adversaries" (Hua & Bapna 2013). Since the events of 9/11 the world has watched as terrorism has slowly began to escalate not only in severity but frequency however, until recently nations including the United States have been more focused on traditional methods of terrorism and paid little effort to the growing concern of cyberterrorism. Hua and Bapta (2013) define cyberterrorism as:
As the future stores in Kinyasi’s plans, he graduates with Bachelor of Science in Computing Security this May recently. He continues his goal to receive the Master of Science and will graduate in the next May. After graduation, he plans to look for a job across the United States as he loves to travel around the new places. He wants to gain more experience through work for next few more years. When he satisfies his goal, he will return to Tanzania, to set up a business and use his skills to improve security. There are not many security companies and he wants to improve the security to prevent hack, threats, and virus risks. If the security plan does not work out, he plans to do entrepreneurship for farming (how to improve crop demands) or build better properties provided for deaf people.
Students earning the Master’s Degree in Cybersecruity through UMUC are provided a distinctive opportunity. The capstone course for the degree program allows students to put the knowledge they have gained throughout the program into practice. The Cybersecurity Capstone Simulation presents students, organized into teams representing business sectors, with various scenarios in which a cyber threat must be addressed. Furthermore, the simulation stresses the need for the teams to consider other impacts on the implementation of security control, such as employee morale, productivity, and profitability. One of the greatest challenges of the simulation is to implement controls which will defend the sector’s systems, yet still provide
I hold a Master’s degree in Information Systems, Security and Assurance from Western Governors University, and also obtained industry certifications in Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) and Ethical Hacking(CEH) from EC-Council.
The internet, a powerful engine for growth and freedom, nations is, therefore, taking advantage of its enormous benefits. Since everything from military to systems to Smartphone-linked to the internet, however, bad actors are trying to steal from those targets has increased drastically. Hackers, compromise, take or destroy hundreds of billions of dollars in intellectual property and real money as well as assessing the critical military top secrecy from various nations, majorly the United States annually. The Congress and the senior members have taken no tangible and practical steps to counter this persistent and growing threat. One of the effective policies is sharing cyber security threat and vulnerability information between the private and
Computer security is a growing concern with the onset of always-on connections in the home and the emerging global network. More and more people become connected everyday. The reliance on computers in our daily lives has increased the need for security and has shifted the ethical line for hackers and hacking.
The Age of Information has made an approaching infinite amount of data accessible to all but the most disenfranchised. Today, technologists pursue the means and ways to transform these oceans of information into actionable information, knowledge, and situational understanding. US Military commanders, too, are addicted to and reliant on the powerful real-time situational awareness that has been made available to all Soldiers on the battlefield. Capability Set 13 provides the Rifleman Radio and the Nett Warrior System, which provide mission command across all echelons via smart phone like devices, and thus exposes all Soldiers to the cyber domain of warfare. The contested cyber domain delivers this powerful stimulant through the complex and interconnected physical, logical, and social layers. However, with complexity and dependency comes fragility.

Cyberespionage in today’s world has become more than a farfetched conspiracy theory. The reality is that there are legitimate threats to individuals, corporations, and governments occurring daily with the purpose of gaining access to confidential information. It is imperative that everyone from end users to network administrators are aware of the threat that cyberespionage poses, and are familiar with methods to detect and prevent these types of attacks. Failure to do so can leave sensitive data vulnerable and victims dealing with the potentially damaging effects.
Cyberwarfare is becoming a very serious problem. It is equivalent to a “sneak attack” that is so powerful, that in milliseconds, unknowingly, can instantly disable a country 's financial infrastructure, take down Web sites belonging to anyone from the local mom & pop business around the corner to the White House, America’s defense military structures and many others. Because of the challenges for security experts, it makes it near impossible for some of the attacks, big or small, from being detected. Furthermore, the complexity of the perpetrators warfare will make it equally difficult in in not only identifying who they are, but bringing them to justice. Attacks have become much more widespread, technically sophisticated, and even more potentially devastating by the minute. As the advancement of technology continues to progress forward at a rate of speed never going to slow down, so does the threat of cyberwarfare. Both go dangerously hand in hand.
Robust information systems and communication networks have become essential in social and economic development across the world. Networking and computing are currently utilities in the same way as water supplies and electricity. For this reason, the safety and availability of information communication systems are becoming of increasing concern. Computer security is essential to any institution and government agency and with the ever-increasing rates of computer-related crimes, it is essential to establish security program capable of preventing the impact of such threats. Various institutions globally are increasingly integrating advanced information communication technology infrastructure and applications in their core operations
It is difficult to define cyberculture because its boundaries are uncertain and applications to certain circumstances can often be disputed. The common threads of defining cyberculture is a culture which has evolved and continues to evolve from the use of computer networks and the internet and is guided by social and cultural movements reflective of advancements in scientific and technological information. It is not a unified culture but rather a culture that exists in cyberspace and is a compilation of numerous new technologies and capabilities, used by diverse people in diverse real – world locations. Cyberculture, a twentieth century phenomena, has brought challenges unlike any other that the United States has seen in the areas of cyber security and its impact on our most critical institutions. This presentation will focus on the aforementioned three entities where national security is in jeopardy in part due to cyberculture and its intentional use for disruptive and destructive purposes. Breaches of security to the United States Department of Defense, the national power grid and the Chamber of Commerce are very real and omnipresent.
