Disentangling The Entangled Cyberwarfare

While cyberspace empowers everyone, discovering new worlds like quantumspace will tilt the balance of power for centuries to come. Amid that defining and designing, any nation’s future does not come without visualizing the destructive element in all known/unknown human domains.

As I began to put my thoughts together on the growing multi-domain cyberwarfare, it became crucial to disentangle the entangled cyber warfare for the survival and security of nations and human civilization. Although the making of cyberspace and each technology layer have brought complex problems to and from cyberspace, we cannot forget that cyberspace has integrated aquaspace, geospace, and space and is on its way to integrate quantumspace as well. No doubt, discovering new worlds like quantumspace will tilt the balance of power for centuries to come. Yet, amid that defining and designing, any nation’s future does not come without visualizing the destructive element in all known/unknown human domains.

The ongoing democratization of destruction amidst rapidly rising digital disorder in cyberspace necessitates a new way of thinking to overcome the complex security challenges facing each one of us in all human domains and dimensions. Therefore, it is paramount that we understand the nature of the coming collapse and evaluate if we continue as usual what is at stake. So, I sat down to disentangle the entangled cyberwarfare, and here is the first of many publications to come.

Announcing The Book, The Quantum Threat

I am happy to announce my new book, The Quantum Threat.

One cannot write about the quantum threat of cyber warfare without disentangling the entangled cyberspace from the prism of the emerging multi-domain war. Thus, although an extensive examination of quantum fundamentals and emerging technologies is outside the scope of this initiative, it is necessary to begin a discussion on the topic of quantumspace, its integration with cyberspace, and implications beyond cyber warfare.

The book introduces the Quantum Threat and focuses on presenting security scenarios in which the emerging technology application in future warfare comes to fruition. Each scenario is preceded by a technological understanding that frames the security chain of events with warfare implications. The global trends constitute the contextual environment for security scenarios.

• The first scenario is built around human behavior in cyberspace, the entangled human and machine behavior, and the democratization of destruction.
• The second scenario addresses the constant clash in cyberspace and evaluates the declining fear of power in the contested domain.
• The third scenario is built around the coming collapse and the weaponization of human domains like quantumspace, cyberspace, aquaspace, geospace, and space.
• The fourth scenario centers around nation preparedness and evaluates strategizing national security and creating collective cyber defense capacity.

Each scenario concludes with the identified implications and is in continuities of each other, creating a larger entangled integrated quantumspace, cyberspace, aquaspace, geospace, and space (QCAGS) narrative that informs nations of the answer to the question of the coming collapse. It also helps them visualize the future and understand the strategic implications of their preparedness around human behavior, the democratization of destruction, and the weaponization of human domains in warfare today and in the future.

This initiative discusses going beyond the limits of what is possible and exploring the impossible. It also emphasizes that everything in the human ecosystem is about balance. Since the balance of power is the scale of peace, the tilting power dynamics due to quantumspace will create enormous imbalances for centuries to come.

My next initiative will focus on presenting my Scientific Hypothesis behind the Quantum Threat. I will continue on this journey and call you to join my efforts at Risk Group to help protect the future of humanity.
