Spectre of Cyberterrorism: A Potential Threat to India’s National Security
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Cyber security has quickly evolved from a technical discipline to a strategic concept. Globalization and the Internet have given individuals, organizations, and nations incredible new power, based on constantly developing networking technology. For everyone – students, soldiers, spies, propagandists, hackers, and terrorists – information gathering, communications, fundraising, and public relations have been digitized and revolutionized. As a consequence ,the use and abuse of computers, databases, and the networks that connect them to achieve political and military objectives now have a cyber dimension, the size and impact of which are difficult to predict, and difficult to retaliate as well. A cyber attack is not an end in itself, but a powerful means to a wide variety of ends, from propaganda to espionage, from denial of service to the destruction of critical infrastructure. The nature of national security threat has not changed, but the Internet has provided a new delivery mechanism that can increase the speed, scale, and power of an attack. However, the question arises here is that, can a cyber attack pose a serious threat to national security?
