Revenge of the nerds is a film made in 1984 depicting the epic battle of mind versus muscle. That movie was the first thought in my head after hearing the word cyber warfare. The movie was mainly about a group of nerds that were always bullied by the jocks. The nerds, in their defense, would employ high tech warfare to defend themselves against the jocks. Now it seems like the world has caught on to the power of the mind. It seems that traditional methods of warfare is not the most efficient method. It appears now wars are being fought with minds, technology, and often from remote locations using the Internet. The United States has taken notice of such developments and are trying to establish their framework for dealing with cyber threats.
The United States Department of Defense (DOD) is in the process of developing their rules of conduct for dealing with cyber threats. The head of the United States cyber command and National security mentioned that they are working with the joint chiefs to establish a decision framework. The framework will identify threats and allow senior officials to share information easily. This framework will also implement a chain of command and control mechanism that makes for quick reply to any cyber threat.
