'Rising cyberattacks show growing asymmetry in warfare'

PUNE: Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture jointly with Data Security Council of India (DSCI) organised a national level seminar cum conference on cybersecurity recently, which had technical sessions on topics such as 'Cyber Warfare and Cyber Security - Defence and Homeland Security Domains', 'Systems and Processes as Defence against Cyber Threats' and 'Cyber Security - Solutions and Cooperation'.

Arvind Tilak, convenor of the conference, read out the keynote address penned by G S Lamba, directorate general of Signals Army HQs, New Delhi. "Now in the era of information explosion, information has an ascending and transcending influence -- for our society and our military forces. As such, I think it is appropriate to call information operations the fifth dimension of warfare. Dominating this information spectrum is going to be critical to success in the future," he said.

He added that potential attacks in cyberspace perhaps best illustrate growing asymmetry in warfare. Internet technology increasingly underpins both our military and economic strength. "But, in turn, this reliance on IT has created new vulnerabilities. Those wishing to cause us harm no longer need an industrial complex to marshal deadly force. Advanced weapons systems, like a fifth generation fighter or carrier battle group require major investments in research, development, and production and a significant technological base," he said.

"The bottom line is that the cyber threat and the other asymmetric threats require us not to become complacent with our conventional superiority. The term "security" had two connotations. The first is a negative concept which involves the prevention of being harmed and can be equated with the notion of safety. The second connotation is a positive concept which involves promoting a better quality of life and protecting human rights, which can be associated with welfare. A successful model of cybersecurity must entail welfare besides merely ensuring safety of cybernetworks," he added.
