ABSTRACT
One of the most important emerging topics related to militarization and the conduct of war is that of cyber warfare. 1 As technological capacity grows, populations and governments alike become more and more dependent on reliable internet connections and information placed only in the cyberspace. The whole financial market can no longer function without the internet and computers. The same can be said of air traffic and other sectors that would at first sight seem less network-dependant, such as energy distribution systems and hospitals. The fact that computers are so depended upon makes these sectors of human activity particularly vulnerable if their computers or networks were to be shut down.
