Hi,
My name is Vernon and I have recently joined the iwar group.
Last year I completed my Honours degree with a review of the German
security standard ITBPM. This year I am a PhD student studying
Information Warfare from a commercial perspective - based at Deakin
University in Geelong, Australia.
The confirmation email requested my thoughts on what Information
Warfare is -- certainly a loaded question!
>From the research I have done so far, IW certainly seems to be in its
infancy, with a tendency to lean towards military/Government
considerations with offensive and defensive measures. The definition
of IW seems to be constantly changing and broadening.
It is much more than computer security and requires thinking on a
deeper abstract level. In the following years I believe the threat of
IW will become more realistic and abundant outside its traditional
boundaries.
Already we have seen the damage and power of Melissa, the Love bug,
distributed denial of service, etc. Although new techniques are
appearing, such as Sandia's intelligent software, they are not enough.
The current poll for this group refers to crytpography as a suitable
measure. Certainly it is an aid but is only one small part of an
overall defense.
Systems may never be 100% secure (you can NEVER underestimate or
ignore the element of human error/failing) but many can certainly be
improved upon. As a start, organisations need to work together, share
information, incorporate sufficient security and admit/recognise they
are insecure - simple measures, but you need to start somewhere!
