Cyberwarfare is defined as any action by an individual or a
nation-state to penetrate an individual or national computer or network for the
purpose of causing disruption or damage. Cyberwarfare can include espionage,
sabotage and vandalism in order to access critical information housed in
computer systems. There are several different forms of cyber attacks that can
happen and the attacks typically build upon one another to achieve a specific
goal. While cyberwarfare is a relatively new concept, it is starting to be taken
very seriously by both corporations and entire countries throughout the world.
Many security concerns stem from the threat of cyberwarfare. Therefore,
cyberwarfare is also becoming something very serious that individuals need to
be concerned about and take seriously.
In today's heavily focused technological society, you rely
on computer for everything. Think about your daily routine – how many times in
a day do you use or rely on a computer? Consider this, what would you do if you
woke up one morning and had no electricity to run computers, what would you do?
Many people aren't aware of how much they rely on computers until they are
affected. Most people store their entire lives and information on computers and
informational networks online. You need to take steps to protect your own
private computer and your Internet network. Cyberwarfare is no different from
standard warfare, you need to be prepared and protect yourself against the
worse. Not only so you can function when a computer is lost, but also so you
can protect yourself from all the sensitive information you keep on your
computer.
