Cyber: the 21st century threat/ Brian Kindamo - 2015

When the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked in September 2001, just over 500 million of the population of Planet Earth used the Internet - then about 8% of the global population . Today that figures approaches three billion, or more than 40%. In between these two points in time lie a series of attacks on society and commerce launched from the cyber domain, some real, some imagined, and a growing sense of unease that the next 'Big One' in terms of state or criminally inspired cyber terrorism may be a game changer, in that it may lead to catastrophic results that could require weeks, months or even years to mitigate.
