Cyberwarfare, a term that encompasses a wide range of computer-based attacks against specific enemy states, has become one of the most pressing national security issues of the 21st century. The race to comprehensively protect computer-based military and infrastructure resources from cyberattacks is intensifying worldwide. Military experts, for example, believe that Ukraine's ability to protect its cyberspace from Russian cyber attacks was one of the main reasons why Russia's dramatic invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in 2022 did not lead to the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in Kiev. This comprehensive information source explains the world of cyber warfare in technically sound but easily understandable language. It begins with a detailed description of the historical development of cyber warfare and its various forms, from crippling attacks on power grids and communications networks to covert information gathering. It then comprehensively examines the key controversies and issues surrounding cyber security and cyber warfare, covering major cyber attacks, the organisations responsible for them, and the measures taken by the United States and other countries to protect against this constantly evolving threat. Like all books in the Contemporary World Issues series, this volume includes a series of Perspectives in which experts on cyberwarfare provide insights into various aspects of cyber warfare. Other features include informative primary documents, data tables, a chronology and a glossary of technical terms.
