Information Warfare: An Introduction
Charles Dodd
Topic: Security
Audience: All audiences
Description:
Defending against information attacks has a number of characteristics in common with
societal efforts to combat disease, drugs, and crime. Noting these similarities helps to put
this problem into perspective, provides some potential useful lessons learned, and serves
as a benchmark.
Before reviewing the specific similarities between combating IWS and these longstanding
problems, it should be noted that, while eradicating information attacks may not
be a realistic expectation, significant progress can be made in defending against all forms
of information attacks, enough so that the risks can be kept at acceptable levels.
Defending, as it is used here, includes preventing attacks, blunting attacks, and
controlling the damage caused by attacks.
