This report examines the electronic intrusion threat to national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and information systems. Electronic intrusion is defined as gaining unauthorized access to automated information systems, (AJS) including software, hardware, firmware, and the information these systems store and process. Electronic intrusion also includes exceeding or abusing authorized access to that system. The threat posed by electronic intrusion continues to grow due to increased global connectivity, the dramatic worldwide growth of computer literacy, the increased sophistication of intrusion tools and techniques, and the ready availability of detailed intrusion information and user-friendly intrusion tools on the Internet. The increasing complexity of information system software and the massive interconnection of telecommunications and information systems have resulted in a wide range of unintended, often unrecognized, vulnerabilities intruders can exploit.

Following the migration of workflows, data, and communication to the Cloud and other Internet-based frameworks, interaction over the Web has become ever more commonplace. As with any social situation, there are rules and consequences to actions within a virtual environment. Cyber Behavior: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications explores the role of cyberspace in modern communication and interaction, including considerations of ethics, crime, security, and education. With chapters on a variety of topics and concerns inherent to a contemporary networked society, this multi-volume work will be of particular interest to students and academicians, as well as software developers, computer scientists, and specialists in the field of Information Technologies.

This report identifies and analyzes the threat that electronic intrusion represents to the Public Switched Network (PSN), and it serves to update and expand upon the findings of the 1993 report with the identical title. The threat that contemporary electronic intruders pose to the PSN is rapidly changing and is significant. As a result of their increasing knowledge and sophistication, electronic intruders may have a significant impact upon national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications because more than 90 percent of U.S. Government telecommunications services are provided by commercial carriers. The possible effects of the threat to the PSN include denial or disruption of service, unauthorized monitoring or disclosure of sensitive information, unauthorized modification of network databases/services, and fraud/financial loss. Each effect may disrupt or degrade NS/EP telecommunications services in the United States. Traditionally, the electronic intrusion threat to the PSN has come from individuals exhibiting both surprising ingenuity and a penchant for self-promotion. In the past, electronic intruders from the computer underground have been motivated primarily by curiosity. These individuals have shown less concern about law enforcement and have seen more effort spreading vulnerability information among their peers. Law enforcement personnel have made substantial progress over the past several years in the detection and prosecution of computer criminals. In contrast, the modern breed of electronic intruders from the computer underground appears to have different motives and techniques.

In Leigh Armistead's second edited volume on warfare in the Information Age, the authors explore the hype over possibilities versus actuality in their analysis of Information Operations (IO) today. First, leaders must better understand the informational element of national power, and second, their sole focus on technology must expand to include IO's physical interconnectivity, content, and cognitive dimensions. Finally the authors urge the United States to use its enormous IO advantage to deal with complex national security issues beyond the Department of Defense, for example, in swaying global opinion and influencing other populations. Armistead and his colleagues set aside the hype and conjecture concerning IO, because its real potential is more powerful and comprehensive than currently appreciated. In a straightforward format they take practitioners on the path toward a smart and effective way of waging IO. While the original claims of "bloodless" wars or of computer hackers plunging North America into a new "dark age" of constant electric grid collapses quickly raised awareness of new threats and capabilities in the Information Age, these scenarios strain credulity and hamper our understanding of those threats and capabilities. This volume corrects this situation, grounding IO in the real world, and concentrates on its actual challenges, capabilities, and accomplishments. Information Warfare will be an indispensable guide and reference work for professionals and students in the fields of national security.

Terrorist organizations use many technologies as they plan and stage attacks. This book explores the purpose and manner of the use of communication and computer technologies, their net effect, and security forces' possible responses. The authors conclude that, instead of developing direct counters to these technologies, exploiting their use and the information they manage to enable more direct security force operations is a more promising option.

This is the 33rd volume in the Occasional Paper series of the U.S. Air Force Institute for National Security Studies (INSS). This paper, along with Occasional Paper 32, Richard Aldrich's "Cyberterrorism and Computer Crimes: Issues Surrounding the Establishment of an International Legal Regime,"address the context surrounding the question of how the U.S. military responds to the cyber threat facing the American military and society today. The U.S. military has become increasingly dependent upon the nation's information and communications infrastructures. Concurrently, threats to and vulnerabilities in these infrastructures are expanding, in large part due to structural factors not likely to disappear in the future. To prevail against the increasing threat, the military -- and, more broadly, the government -- needs to adopt a risk reduction and management program. A crucial element of this risk management program is information sharing with the private sector. However, substantial barriers threaten to block information exchanges between the government and private sector. These barriers include concerns over release of sensitive material under Freedom of Information Act requests, antitrust actions, protection of business confidential and other private material, possible liability due to shared information, disclosure of classified information, and burdens entailed with cooperating with law enforcement agencies. There is good cause to believe that the government and private sector can overcome these barriers, guided by lessons learned from numerous successful government-private sector information-sharing mechanisms. This analysis concludes with actions the government should undertake to develop an information-sharing mechanism with the private sector. Key among them are actively engaging the private sector from the onset, determining information requirements, and fostering a partnership based on trust.
