The Information Systems Security Officer's Guide, 3rd Edition

Chapter 13

Introduction to Global Information Warfare

Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction and discussion of global information warfare (IW). As a professional cyber security officer you may not know it as or call it information warfare on a global scale, but we certainly are in a cyber war. Furthermore, if you are to protect the government agency or corporate information, systems, and networks that are your part of the global or national information infrastructure, you better start thinking and acting as if you were in a war because, like it or not, you are.
