"CYBERWARFARE IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO OUR INFORMATION AGE"

Cyberwarfare is the non-conventional war that is fought in the high technological realm of our cyberspace in this 21st century information technology age. This technological warfare is more dangerous and more deadly than the present threats of a nuclear warfare or our historical and the traditional conventional wars that our human universe has seen again and again. This Cyberwarfare is also one of the cheapest wars to fight today. This war does not require any boot on the ground or any huge financial investment or any massive movement of troops and their war machines to the war fronts or to the battle grounds, which in most cases will lead to the huge loss of precious human life and treasury. This war is fought from computers to computers in the cyberspace and with the computer hackers serving as the cyber soldiers and using their deadly computer programs as their war tools.

Cyberware is primarily motivated and driven by the forces of the international politics between the major players in the global economy and military dominance. Cyberwarface serves two main purposes, which are to sabotage the computer networks of the enemy by bringing them to a final halt and to obtain the secret and the high classified information through espionage. The online website, the Wikipedia defines espionage as "the act or practice of obtaining secrets (sensitive, proprietary or classified information) from individuals, competitors, rivals, groups, governments and enemies also for military, political, or economic advantage using illegal exploitation methods on internet, networks, software and or computers"


The world's leading internet security company that is known as the McAfee told the world in 2007 that over 100 or more countries are working day and night in an attempt to develop their own cyber warface capabilities that will enable them to be able to target and to shut down the entire social services, economic activities and the government computer systems of an entire nation in the event of a typical or a real cyberwarfare in the world of today. The threat of the cyberwarfare is too real in this 21st century information age and nations that plan to survive any cyberwarface must also plan and develop their own anti-cyberwarfare capabilities that will be able to protect their own entire computer networks when a cyber attack becomes a reality.
