Presentation Title: Cyber Skirmishes
Presentation Details:

High-tech information warfare is fast becoming a reality. The term information warfare covers a wide range of activity, including corporate and military espionage and intelligence collection, psychological operations and perception management, attacks on communication systems, consumer fraud, and information piracy. In addition, the concept covers specifically computer-related issues: viruses, Trojan horses, and deliberate and targeted hacking efforts such as computer break-ins and denial-of-service attacks (where hackers flood an Internet server with traffic to overload and disable it). Cyber warfare is politically-motivated computer hacking that inflicts severe societal harm, and may also effect nation’s economy and defense. Cyber Warfare is so rapid that it may not give an opponent enough time to “surrender” before permanent and devastating damage is done. It has recently become of increasing importance to the military, the intelligence community, and the business world. Military planners are now imagining soldiers at computer terminals silently invading foreign networks to shut down radars disable electrical facilities and disrupt phone services.
