Increasing Fear of Sabotage on internet
Description:
The internet network has become an indespensable strategic asset for business organization as well as the national/global backbone for every type of transaction. This fact makes it a perfect target for all terrorist groups that aim to undermine "electrical" society. Nevertheless a key cyber battlefield of the future will be the information on computer systems themselves, which is far more valuable and vulnerable than physical systems. New technologies on the horizon provide capabilities for accessing data, either through wireless intercept, intrusion into Internet-connected systems, or through direct access by insiders.
Enablers:
- Neocon: internet itself is helping the formation of closed/exclusive often virtual communities with a global presence carachterized by an anti sentiment: anti "electrical world", anti globalization, anti religion.
- Globalization: the increase exchange of information and people across the globe will bring in contact the extremes (poors and reaches, developed and undeveloped, traditions, religions,...). internet will represent the main coomunication tool but also the most accessible and at the same time most important strategic asset of the developed countries.
Inhibitors:
- Stronger governamental control - growing number of private/closed network
Paradigms:
withdraw from the open/accessible technology
