Cyber Wars

In the past military attacks were conducted exclusively with conventional or unconventional physical weapons. And geopoliticals equilibria were obtained with battles or, in more recent years, with bombardments, "intelligent" weapons etc.

Nowadays this "war methods" unfortunately still exists (think at the recent appeal of the Pope about the cluster bombs), but there is a new battlefield where is played the "game" about the international security issues and where the geopolitical influence of the countries is measured. And it's not a physical environment but a digital one. In few years, in fact, the number of cyber attacks increased a lot (see the recent Russia-Estonia case).

And, for that reason, the Nato decided to open in Estonia the first european training center for the defense from cyber attacks. Link: Cyberwar, la NATO non resta a guardare.
