Today we live in the information age where the power of information and its supporting technology has transformed the way we think, act and live. There are very few aspects in developed, developing and key functional areas of undeveloped countries that are not affected by what some have also described as the digital revolution. Inevitably this "revolution" has impacted upon the warfare thinking and capabilities of nation states, and non-state actors. Ian will explain the concept of cyber warfare, what it means in both defensive and offensive terms, and why, for Australia, it is a must-have capability.
