After pondering, researching, and a few glasses of wine, I've decided to do an analysis on cyber warfare. - cybersecurity cybersecurity

I think it's safe to say that the odds are against us. However, there has been some progress toward a cyber-secure world in the past few years due to the increasing cost of cyber attacks. There is hope, but there's still a lot of work to do in this regard. So if you are interested in switching into the world of cyber security, now is a good time.As we enter the topic of offensive tactics, it's important to note that any attack invites a response from the victim.

In the digital world, however, the issue of self-defense becomes very complex. For starters, you can never be 100% sure of who harmed you . Most cyber-attacks take place from a compromised system of an innocent third party and not the actual attacker's machine. This is by design as it becomes hard if not impossible to figure out the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the attack.

Another issue is that a cyber attack can do significant damage to a system, causing unforeseen consequences as the attacked system may be connected to hundreds, if not, thousands of other systems, both in technology and in the geopolitical world. For example, if a cyber-attack was successful in shutting down an oil pipeline, a nation may be without oil until the affected systems can be safely turned back online.

The third issue with retaliation is that of liability and the possibility of escalation. Who is liable for the damages caused by the retaliation? Even if the cyber-attack damaged the attacker's systems, who's to say that they will not respond in kind? If the retaliation is not done by a professional, then the possibility of an attacker finding out who you are and what systems to attack is almost guaranteed.
