• Spammers

• Negligent staff

• Hackers

• Unethical employees misusing/misconfiguring security functions

• Unauthorized access, modification, disclosure of information

• Nations attacking critical information infrastructures

• Technical advances that can render encryption algorithms obsolete

Cyberattacks are

DIFFICULT to execute.

Lessons learned so far

Governments do have

the resources/skills to conduct

cyberattacks.

Lessons learned so far

Cyberattacks are war. Lessons learned so far

Cyberwarfare is

"the fifth domain

of warfare“

“Cyberspace is a new domain in warfare which

has become just as critical to military operations

as land, sea, air and space.”

“Actions to penetrate computers or networks for the

purposes of causing damage or disruption.”

Information warfare is

“using & managing IT

in the pursuit of a

competitive advantage

over an opponent“

Cyberattacks are a real, clear and present danger to organisations & government

agencies.

Lessons learned so far

“It’s possible that hackers have gotten into administrative computer systems of utility companies, but says those aren’t linked to the equipment controlling the grid, at least not in developed countries. I have never heard that the grid itself has been hacked..”

Howardt Schmidt, Cyber-Security Coordinator of the US

Targeted organizations are unprepared.

Lessons learned so far

Lessons learned so far

Risk always exists! (whether or not it is

detected / recognised by the organisation).
