1. Is cyberwarfare a serious problem? Why or why not?
Network warfare is a serious problem that should be solved. With the use of technology to control missiles and wars worldwide, the threat of a network is not as serious as a threat to physical threats. Network warfare can also play the role of catalyst, inducing the full blow of terror to other countries.
2. Assess the management, organization, and technology factors that have created this problem.
From a management point of view, there has been no increase in the focus until recently to ensure that the policy is in place to prevent network warfare attacks in the organization. More emphasis must be placed on the need to prevent this. The organization has been injured by the vulnerable and potential body to the users and employees to be organized to solve a social problem. Technology and easy access to public progress make cyber wars more likely to happen. Technology makes the problem more relevant, only to make the situation worse based on the technology that is leading us.
3.What makes Stuxnet different from other cyberwarfare attacks? How serious a threat is this technology?
Most cyber warfare attacks attempt to steal information and espionage. Stuxnet virus is able to infect the industry best practices and make it almost impossible, even though defending ensures good computer system. The task of the Stuxnet worm is to activate the monitoring and data acquisition computer only. Part of it was designed to sleep for a long time, and then let them spin out of control to speed up the nuclear centrifuge in Iran. Another secretly recorded the normal operation of nuclear power plants, etc., and then played these recordings back to factory operators, so it would appear in centrifuges when working normally, they actually tear themselves apart. For this type of cyber war attack, the whole country may be eliminated, not recognized, from inside to outside.
4.What solutions have been proposed for this problem? Do you think they will be effective? Why or why not?
The solutions have been proposed for this problem stated below:
(1)Congress is employing legislation that would require all critical infrastructure companies to meet newer, tougher cybersecurity standards. As cyberwarfare technologies develop and become more advanced, the standards imposed by this legislation will likely be insufficient to defend against attacks.
(2)Several security agencies believe that US cyber security is not well-organized. Several different agencies, including the Pentagon and the National Security Agency (NSA), have their sights on being the leading agency in the on-going efforts to combat cyberwarfare. The first Headquarters designed to coordinate government cyber security efforts, called Cybercom, was activated in May 2010 in the hope of resolving this organizational tangle. It will coordinate the operation and protection of military and Pentagon computer networks. It will coordinate efforts to restrict access to government computers. And protect systems that run the stock exchanges, clear global banking transactions, and manage the air traffic control system. Its ultimate goal will be to prevent catastrophic cyber-attacks against the US Some insiders suggest that it might not be able to effectively organize the governmental Agencies without direct access to the President, which it last lacks.
