Abstract

Every new technology presents the possibility of new weapons, and for every new weapon, there’s a soldier hoping it will yield the ultimate advantage, although few ever do. The nature of war is never gonna change. But the character of war is changing before our eyes–with the introduction of a lot of technology, a lot of societal changes with urbanization, and a wide variety of other factors. In order to have a robust discussion about how emerging technologies may affect the proliferation of modern cyberwar, it is vital to understand these technologies. In this session, ISR techniques (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), and counter-drone security serve as productive examples of technologies that we have witnessed in recent conflicts playing the role of a potential tool of exploit and will be greatly escalated in the future as well. This session provides the background and context required to assess potential challenges to this emerging cyber threat. As will be demonstrated with case studies, advancements in these areas are especially relevant because they have made it increasingly easy for Infosys to leverage these technologies to achieve its objectives and threaten the global IT/ICS ecosystem.
