Introduction to Cyber Warfare

Service Description

When exactly did information security become cyber warfare? What changed? How do modern attacks against information systems differ from what hacking was 5-10 years ago? Old defence doctrines are ineffective against modern APT-like scenarios. Successful attacks are no longer measured by whether the perimeter was breached. The student learns to understand that the breach is inevitable and true defences are organic, highly-iterative, mixed approached and heavily dependent on human resource. Effective security operations have to correspond to the modern kill-chain, so before security can be implemented, specific attack scenarios should be carefully examined. The student will understand the concepts of reactive vs. proactive security.
