Sažetak
Information and cyber warfare have recently become topics of increasing interest and importance. This interest and importance has been manifested primarily in the public sector, where states and their institutions have recognized the value of their information infrastructure, but also by the private sector in which information has become the basis upon which competitive advantage in the global market place is gained. Underlying this growing prominence of cyber and information warfare has been the rapid evolution of cyberspace and network technologies, increases in the processing power of computers, as well as the general advancement of related information technology which has exponentially increased the quantity of information which is analyzed and stored in IT systems. In light of this, it is evident that in terms of security threats, the information environment has become a battlefield in which new methods of both conventional and unconventional attacks seek to achieve information superiority. Considering that the modern state still maintains a prominent role as a provider of security for its citizens and other political and economic entities which exist within its confines, it is necessary to recognize information and cyber warfare as contemporary threats to national security and integrity. The objective of this paper is to clarify the concepts of information and cyber warfare and illustrate them with current examples. Furthermore, this paper will identify key issues and recognize contemporary considerations which arise from these forms of warfare by analyzing contemporary examples of information and cyber warfare.
