Description:

In our globally connected world businesses can become "victims" of nation-state political objectives including becoming the target of cyber warfare. There is a growing list of examples where companies are attacked to achieve what military objectives. One famous example is "the world's first cyber war" (Tamkin, 2017) where Russia presumably attacked Estonian cyber assets including banks, newspapers, broadcasters, and more. These attacks crippled Estonia - it's citizens relied on digital currency and couldn't buy food when the banks were offline. They also couldn't get any information on the banking outage due to attacks against newspapers and broadcasters. Without belaboring the point, think about organizations where you might work. Are they potential cyber warfare targets? What damage could a nation-state actor cause with an attack? What can you do to protect the organization from attack?
