This book revises the strategic objectives of Information Warfare,
interpreting them according to the modern canons of information
age, focusing on the fabric of society, the economy, and critical
Infrastructures. The authors build plausible detailed real-world
scenarios for each entity, showing the related possible threats
from the Information Warfare point of view. In addition, the
authors dive into the description of the still open problems,
especially when it comes to critical infrastructures, and the
countermeasures that can be implemented, possibly inspiring further
research in the domain. This book intends to provide a conceptual
framework and a methodological guide, enriched with vivid and
compelling use cases for the readers (e.g. technologists,
academicians, military, government) interested in what Information
Warfare really means, when its lenses are applied to current
technology. Without sacrificing accuracy, rigor and, most
importantly, the big picture of Information Warfare, this book
dives into several relevant and up-to-date critical domains. The
authors illustrate how finance (an always green target of
Information Warfare) is intertwined with Social Media, and how an
opponent could exploit these latter ones to reach its objectives.
Also, how cryptocurrencies are going to reshape the economy, and
the risks involved by this paradigm shift. Even more compelling is
how the very fabric of society is going to be reshaped by
technology, for instance how our democratic elections are exposed
to risks that are even greater than what appears in the current
public discussions. Not to mention how our Critical Infrastructure
is becoming exposed to a series of novel threats, ranging from
state-supported malware to drones. A detailed discussion of
possible countermeasures and what the open issues are for each of
the highlighted threats complete this book. This book targets a
widespread audience that includes researchers and advanced level
students studying and working in computer science with a focus on
security. Military officers, government officials and professionals
working in this field will also find this book useful as a
reference.
