Abstract:

The British weekly "Economist" defined the cybernetic arena (in the context of cyber warfare) as "the fifth arena of combat in addition to the four traditional arenas: land, sea, air, space.

Cyber warfare is a hostile action taken by an organization in order to penetrate the cyber space of the target with the aim of stealing information from it as well as with the aim of disrupting the activity and causing damage to it and/or to other systems that rely on it.

The damage can be irreversible so that the activity of the affected organization will be disrupted at a high level or completely stopped for all the resulting consequences.

Cyber protection protects assets in the cyber space against information leakage from the space or against cyber attacks aimed at stealing information, disrupting it or damaging it.

Abstract:

Along with the striving of organizations to increase value by leveraging technological advantages, the inherent risk in the digital business and in the reliance of organizations on computerized systems is increasing. Stealing personal details and proprietary business information, blocking service and demanding ransom, improper utilization of resources, denial of service and theft in cyberspace - all of these are becoming commonplace and harm both large and small organizations. Decentralized and uncoordinated approaches to information security, and passive incident response are a thing of the past.
