Preferred term

cyber warfare  

Definition

  • The security of highly information-based societies, which in all their segments depend on computers and computer networks, can be jeopardized not only by physical threats but also by threats from cyberspace. That is why cyber attacks, in all technologically advanced countries, are perceived as one of the greatest threats to national security, and securing one's own national cyberspace is considered to be an absolute imperative.
