Growing Risks of Cyber-Crime, Cyber-Terrorism, and Cyber-Warfare

As Panama Papers begin to trigger mass protests, the biggest ever leak of “secret data information” is causing chills across nations!

While the computer code, connected computers, information, communications, and digitalization technology, and internet have brought a positive impact on all aspects of nations: its government, industries, organizations (NGIOA), academia, and human life, it has also brought new vulnerabilities to each and every component of a nation, our society, and human life in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).

In addition to cyber-activism, cybercrime, and cyber-terrorism, there is a vicious power struggle raging on in cyberspace. This new cyber battleground is full of unknowns, including major players, minor players, rules of war, and reasons for war. In these cyber- battlefields, the war casualties have been quietly piling up. It seems every nation: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) has been hit and is at risk of being hit. No one is being spared, including common citizens.

This cyber battleground brings each NGIOA, the good, the bad, and the unknown.

With the world getting immersed in rapid advances in artificial intelligence, information, communication, and digitalization technology, the activities in cyberspace have become inseparable from activities in geospace and space. The blurring boundaries of cyberspace with geospace and space has pushed each nation to a significant decision point today, as they must continue to defend their current systems and networks in the geospace and space, while simultaneously struggle, to get out in front of their challenges and competitors in the cyberspace.

So, when computer code, connected computers, and the internet fundamentally transform warfare between nations, the new reality of cybercrime, cyber terrorism, and cyberwar are causing panic across NGIOA-I.

So the question is how can any nation contain the threats posed by human and non-human intelligence, computer code, connected computers, information and communication technology, and the internet? Time is now to talk about cyber-crime, cyber-terrorism, and cyber-warfare.
