Cyber Attack as an Asymmetric Threat

By Milica D. Djekic, Independent Researcher

Abstract: Cyberspace is yet unsafe environment for communication and data transfer. Hacker’s
organizations can target many servers, datacenters and endpoints relying on capacities of only one
workstation. That means cyber attack is a multiple-user threat which can affect a plenty of networks. The
information-communication infrastructures are critically vulnerable to a wide spectrum of hacking
campaigns. The bad guy on another side of the grid will see what is going on with targeted machine and
easily doing drag-and-drop of malware applications cause sabotage with such a network. Cybercrime is
a crime area by the Interpol and there are the entire legal regulations and case procedures which can
guide law enforcement officers how to combat that criminality applying the best practices. The modern
Police Forces are capable to resolve a lot of criminal justice investigations as there is still strong
dependability on emerging technologies and current cyber assets. The main appeal to defense
community of today is to assure manageability of the risk in high-tech surrounding as coming industrial
tendencies could dictate those requirements. This study will carefully analyze all cyber challenges being
obvious in the practice attempting to suggest some possible responses to those criminal scenarios.
