Information Warfare and Cyber Raiders, is a growing threat in today’s world. As technology advances, there are more and more ways of threat to the military, political as well as business houses. No doubt, every new technology has pluses and minuses and the internet is not the exception. In the cyber world, like in the real world, the weakest link is enough to break a chain, and hackers specialize in finding out that very target.
Since each establishment is dependent on online information, the information warfare can not only stagnate but can put the whole system of the country stand-still.
Enormous efficiencies have been gained over the past twenty-five years as a result of the introduction of computers and telecommunication technologies. The use of these systems and networks translates into a major concentration and centralization of information resources.
Today, computer is having all the data of any country and an individual and it is a challenge to the software engineers to further develop the technology so that none other than the real owner of data with personal password could hack it. No nation can now afford to have insecure system. Government business, military communication, banking, regular business, all depend increasingly on computes and thus it is imperative that more attention be devoted to securing the computers and networks where sensitive information is processed. There is also a need to constitute International Cyber Law to control the privacy of any individual and nation as well, by Information Terrorists besides adequate provision of security and training of the staff so that proper vigilance is exercised both online and offline.
