ABSTRACT: The improvements that have been made in
information technology have led to the creation of new dangers for the national
security of several different countries. For the most part of military history,
there has been a huge power disparity between the two opposing sides. This has
been the case throughout the annals. This unequal allocation of resources might
have been caused by a variety of circumstances, including economic conditions,
advances in technology, or even just the disparities in the sizes of the
parties involved. The modern battlefield is increasingly shifting its emphasis
to one that is focused on information operations. In this particular arena, all
of the warriors are making use of the same kind of armament, which consists of
computers. These days, computers and network connections are what make up cyberspace,
and it serves as a battlefield for a war that is still going on. The legal
context in which this war will take place is currently being shaped by
international law, and its framework is still being formed. This conflict is
not just about collecting or protecting confidential material; it is also about
preserving the critical infrastructures and institutions that are responsible
for the preservation of domestic security and the economy. The stakes could not
possibly be any higher. The presentations that are going to take place today
are going to situate the work of defending our important infrastructures within
the context of the role that cyber security plays and the influence that it has
on economic security. This will take place in the context of the presentations
that are going to take place today.
