In May 2001, hackers took down the White House web site for almost three hours. According to AIR FORCE magazine, since then, the attacks originating from servers in the Far East have grown in sophistication and intensity. From cell phones, to computers, to satellite television, government, businesses, and individuals depend on the use of cyberspace. Similarly, US military operations increasingly rely on cyberspace and the networking of sensors, command and control elements, and weapons systems to conduct warfare.
Governments around the world are very much aware of this dependence on cyberspace and are actively seeking ways to gain an advantage.
Lt. Col. David Fahrenkrug will examine some of the strategic and operation considerations for using cyberspace and will explore the impact of cyber power on the conduct of modern warfare.
