Cyberwarfare and information warfare are overused terms for what could be classified as cybervandalism or cybercrime, said Ira Winkler, CISSP at ISAG, at RSA Europe in London on 22 October.By securing organisations against cybervandalism and cybercrime, you are also securing yourself against information warfare, he said. It is all about protection, detection and reaction – just as with other information security threats.
When that is said, Winkler pointed out that most of the claims of information warfare “are laughable” and that the term is “much overused”.
