Abstract: Information Warfare: Past, Present and Future

Information warfare is the composite use of psychological operations (PYOPS), military deception (MILDEC), operational security (OPSEC), computer network operations (CNO), and electronic warfare (EW) to control and disrupt information flow. Recently, interest in information war technologies, techniques and policy issues have increased, especially in the domain of CNO. Increased scrutiny over network operations is both legitimate and valid, as global commerce and military powers are integrated and dependent on the Internet for critical operations. This presentation will describe the five domains of information warfare, the past use of information warfare in the Gulf war and recent Cyber attacks on the Eastern European countries of Georgia and Estonia. Information will be presented on possible new directions of information warfare.
