Abstract
“Take Action When You See the Threat” military philosophy has been used in many battles since the introduction of World War. But as there is no certainty of winning battles, nations around the world driven to comprehend that Electronic War is now preferred for them to gain superiority of information to increase the probability of winning battle. With them, any countries can manipulate the information residing on the other side of battleground to gain paramount advantages at battlefield. Electronic War, as a complementary method in battlefield, emerged many countries to actively aware the need of Electronic War in the purpose to defend against enemy and attack to gain information superiority. While countries raised the awareness significantly to add-on Electronic War method, many alliances are alarmed by this activity due to threat to national security. Countries began to realize that there are many anonymous threats might drive the possibility of Electronic War to the stage where this method is needed to accomplish national security mission.

Introduction
Electronic warfare has introduced another terror for individuals, business and even government, even for me as a citizen in my country. It exposed such a great terror to countries which are involved in it. After the 9/11, Peterson (2007) found that the electronic warfare including cyber terrorism present a great impact to human’s life style, languages and behaviour. Even cyber terrorism awareness enforced its popularity in every single level of government department. Business Disaster Recovery becomes the critical part which every business forced to carry out to get the insurance of business ...

Discussions of the causes of the Cold War are often divisive, creating disparate ideological camps that focus the blame in different directions depending on the academic’s political disposition. One popular argument places the blame largely on the American people, whose emphasis on “strength over compromise” and their deployment of the atomic bomb in the Second World War’s Pacific theatre apparently functioned as two key catalysts to the conflict between US and Soviet powers. This revisionist approach minimizes Stalin’s forceful approach and history of violent leadership throughout World War 2, and focuses instead on President Harry Truman’s apparent insensitivity to “reasonable Soviet security anxieties” in his quest to impose “American interests on the world.” Revisionist historians depict President Truman as a “Cold War monger,” whose unjustified political use of the atomic bomb and ornery diplomatic style forced Russia into the Cold War to oppose the spread of a looming capitalist democratic monopoly. In reality, Truman’s responsibility for the Cold War and the atomic bomb drop should be minimized.
During the late 1940's and the 1950's, the Cold War became increasingly tense. Each side accused the other of wanting to rule the world (Walker 388). Each side believed its political and economic systems were better than the other's. Each strengthened its armed forces. Both sides viewed the Cold War as a dispute between right and wron...
Odd Arne Westad, Director of the Cold War Studies Centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science, explains how the Cold War “shaped the world we live in today — its politics, economics, and military affairs“ (Westad, The Global Cold War, 1). Furthermore, Westad continues, “ the globalization of the Cold War during the last century created foundations” for most of the historic conflicts we see today. The Cold War, asserts Westad, centers on how the Third World policies of the two twentieth-century superpowers — the United States and the Soviet Union — escalates to antipathy and conflict that in the end helped oust one world power while challenging the other. This supplies a universal understanding on the Cold War (Westad, The Global Cold War, 1). After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union opposed each other over the expansion of their power.

It is difficult to define cyberculture because its boundaries are uncertain and applications to certain circumstances can often be disputed. The common threads of defining cyberculture is a culture which has evolved and continues to evolve from the use of computer networks and the internet and is guided by social and cultural movements reflective of advancements in scientific and technological information. It is not a unified culture but rather a culture that exists in cyberspace and is a compilation of numerous new technologies and capabilities, used by diverse people in diverse real – world locations. Cyberculture, a twentieth century phenomena, has brought challenges unlike any other that the United States has seen in the areas of cyber security and its impact on our most critical institutions. This presentation will focus on the aforementioned three entities where national security is in jeopardy in part due to cyberculture and its intentional use for disruptive and destructive purposes. Breaches of security to the United States Department of Defense, the national power grid and the Chamber of Commerce are very real and omnipresent.

The term “cyber terrorism” refers to the use of the Internet as a medium in which an attack can be launched such as hacking into electrical grids, security systems, and vital information networks. Over the past four decades, cyber terrorists have been using the Internet as an advanced communication tool in which to quickly spread and organize their members and resources. For instance, by using the instantaneous spread of information provided by the Internet, several terrorist’s groups have been able to quickly share information, coordinate attacks, spread propaganda, raise funds, and find new recruits for their cause. Instantaneous and unpredictable, the technological advantages these terrorists have obtained from using the Internet includes

The problem this paper will endeavor to address is that of cyber security or the lack of it, characterized by the cybernation of our lives, which has increased our vulnerability to cyber-attacks. The scope of the threat posed by cyber insecurity will be addressed. How severe is threat posed by cyber criminals? How do they operate? The ramifications of cybercrimes and their impact on the economy are without a doubt cause for government. In addressing the problem, however, the government faces the dilemma of acce...
