Who knows what is yet to come, but the prospect of cyber war looms ahead of us and remains
unclear. In a sense, we are all in some way cyber warriors that engage in protecting cyberspace
domains to defend against those who wish to attack our networked systems. It’s easy to be
afraid not knowing much about the enemy, but technology is so much a part of our life and
lifestyle that it is virtually impossible to step back and minimize its impact. This pervasiveness in
everyone’s life is what makes cyberwar so palatable to terrorists. Cyberspace is a warfighting
domain, and once that is clear, nations can effectively prepare themselves proactively and
effectively.
