In poll after poll, one of the threats facing our nation is the use of a cyber attack to cause a grid down scenario. There are many bad actors on the international stage capable of cyber terror on a massive scale. The list is long, including Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria and now even terrorist groups like ISIS. Each is capable of wreaking havoc in the US by shutting down our power grid and enjoying the resulting chaos.

Cyber Warfare is a primer on the threats we face as a nation from the bad actors mentioned above. It explores the history of cyber attacks, and discusses the nuances of the terminology. The policies of the United States, and its allies, have evolved over the past decade. The problem of attribution is explored as cyber space allows hackers a convenient place to hide.

The all important issue is raised:

When does a cyber attack become an act of war?

After a thorough review of the threat a Cyber War poses for America, in particular on the nation’s critical infrastructure, Cyber Warfare will provide preparedness solutions. This guide will also help you answer the question:

What if the preppers are right?

ABOUT THE PREPPING FOR TOMORROW SERIES

Freedom Preppers came together in 2011 to share research with others on the subject of prepping. Originally designed as an informational website, FreedomPreppers.com quickly grew in prominence as its articles on preparedness were shared around the web. The goal of the Prepping for Tomorrow series is twofold. First, provide a detailed analysis of the threats we face as Americans. Second, give new and seasoned preppers alike the opportunity to enhance their preparedness plan with this knowledge.
