About the book: 2011 / During the first decade of the 21st century, the USA, Russia, China and other world powers are developing a new type of weapon based on the latest technologies and the use of information technology and the Internet. Special units prepare the cybernetic battlefield with the help of so-called logic bombs and backdoors, placing virtual explosives on the territory of other countries in peacetime. This new war is not a game or a figment of our imagination, nor an alternative to conventional war. In fact, it could increase the likelihood of more traditional military confrontations involving guns and missiles. This book will help you understand what cyber warfare is, how and why it develops; analyze risks; prepare for it and think about how to control it. It will take considerable time to create means of protection against cyber attacks, but until this happens, the world is exposed to new serious threats of weakening international stability and the beginning of a new world war - cyber war. How were cyber wars and information attacks carried out in Syria, Estonia, Georgia and Iraq? How can you defeat an entire state in fifteen minutes and without a single terrorist or soldier? The new battlefield is cyberspace.
