Cyber Warfare Introduction Many nations in the world - the United States, China, Russia, Iran, Germany, and more- use cyber warfare as a method of conducting sabotage and espionage. Nations, such as China and Russia, use espionage in order to prevent their economy and their military technology from falling behind by stealing advanced nations’ technology.

future, cyber crime will become the leading threat to the safety and security of the American people. Experts on cyber crime agree that cyber crime is an issue that needs to be focused on more in-depth because the wide-spread use of computers by the global economy has made the use of computers and internet vital to everyday life (Siegel, 2009; FBI, 2011).

attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness. In this frame, vulnerability is also known as the attack surface. (Wikipedia). With this previous definition we can assume that a threat occurs when a weakness is Identified and attacked from an outside source for malicious purposes. By doing things like threat assessments we can tell the best course of
crime were developed much more rapidly than could be anticipated and handled. The need for and effective system of cybercrime policing swiftly became apparent. Unfortunately, as Shinder (2011) points out, identifying the need for an effective form of cyber policing is only a small step in a series of considerable leaps necessary for the actual establishment of such a system. Jurisdictional issues as well as the problem of pinpointing the name and location of offenders can get in the way of such a system
NON-STATE ACTORS THAT POSE THE GREATEST CYBER THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES External global threats are on the rise. Cyber-attacks against the U.S. government are notably targeted for intrusions focusing on exfiltration information some of which are attributed to the Chinese government military (Kirk, 2013). Stolen information by China may be valuable for defense and technology, U.S. policy makers in China, and military planners. (Kirk, 2013). It’s noted that Cyber warfare abilities may intercept military
