A new finding by researchers at the
University of Michigan has revealed that the international cyber attacks can be
predicted based on predictable patterns.
They say that a mathematical model
can help in understanding the timing and strategy of attack and in knowing the
next step as well. The current state of cyber attacks is being compared to the
early nuclear era and it can help in understanding the strategic implication and
then drawing the line between cyber attacks and cybercrimes.
The researchers have tried to
develop concepts that can deal with the changing world of cyber conflicts.
Meanwhile, people took about 15 years to understand the implications of nuclear
technology, which researchers believe will not be the scene with the cyber
technology.
Efforts are going on and a lot of
debates and discussions about cyber issues are already in progress, however,
it’s all in the initial phase and will take much time to get established. The
word ‘attack’ depicts everything from stealing credit card information to
sabotaging of an organizational system.
The attack timing, are expected to
be analyzed based on the ability of the resource to stay undiscovered and on
the capability of infiltrate system. Combining these two might introduce a
model which will help in predicting the attack timing.
This new model might seem very
helpful in understanding the cyber espionage and how the same would be
utilized. A good resource should possess both determination and stealth.
