FUTURE CYBERSPACE WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON POLISH ARMED FORCES
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2012, Vol 163, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article, an attempt is made to create new concepts, definitions as well as the levels and security pillars due to which it is possible to better explain the importance of threats resulting from cyberterrorism in various dimensions. The groundwork for my considerations is to include the quantitative and qualitative results from the comparative studies conducted both in the sphere of cyber war theory and its implementation. Moreover, the analysis of many special documents and professional literature is closely related to the advance of sophisticated information technology and its application in achieving political, economic and military purposes. The knowledge collected this way enabled the author to describe, explain and elaborate on the outline of changes in strategic concepts, legal acts as well as the procedures indispensable for pre-emptive actions connected with waging cyber war. In the opinion of the author, knowledge created this way will be mainly of future character. A hypothesis is proposed that a contemporary researcher should be a futurist possessing interdisciplinary knowledge and long-term experience on waging cyber war and thinking in the analytical and innovative way. A good example is a terrorist attack of 9/11, which dramatically enlarged our imagination and perception of the risk and threat even on the part of minor terrorist groups asymmetrically operating in the non-conventional way.
