Cyber Security: Threats, Challenges and Opportunities- ReAnIn

Cyber security can be broadly defined as the practice of protecting electronic systems such as computer and mobile devices, networks, and data from digital attacks. With the increasing penetration of the internet and electronic devices, the number of cyberattacks has also increased. According to the 2022 Cyber Threat Report published by SonicWall, a cyber security company, there was an increase of 105% in ransomware cyberattacks in 2021. Government bodies have been the primary target for these attacks, which witnessed a 1,885% increase in ransomware attacks, followed by the healthcare industry with a 755% increase.

Can Cyber Warfare Replace Traditional Warfare?

Cyberwarfare has become the harsh reality of the 21^st century and opened a whole new domain for attacks and warfare. There are multiple types of cyberattacks including Denial-of-service (DOS), propaganda, power grid disruption, sabotage, espionage, etc. Attack on the Ukrainian power grid in 2015 and 2016 are a few leading examples of such attacks. The 2015 attack had led to power outages for more than 225,000 consumers in Ukraine for 1-6 hours, while one-fifth of the Ukrainian capital, Keiv’s were affected in the 2016 attack.

As it is evident from the recent crisis between Ukraine and Russia that traditional wars cannot be replaced by cyber-warfare; however, technology and cyber operations will work as an aid in conventional wars.
