After reading this article I completely agree with the Army University Press conclusion. Cybersecurity is a growing field and still has a lot more potential to grow in military warfare. Which also means the military will have to have a clear understanding of social cybersecurity or we could be at great danger. As said in the article, “information wars are … the main type of war” (Eddins). In other words that means that taking information from another nation could give that nation a chance to strengthen your nation to their defense. With most nations’ data being on computers in this century it’s becoming easier for nations to spot each other’s weak points either by hacking the computer or cameras and watching to find their weak points.
Having said that, it’s best for military leaders to have a clear understanding of cybersecurity. Also need to build relevant policies that enhance cybersecurity. Following that we also need to find people who can play the role of cybersecurity to help protect our nation and its people.The next big war will involve a lot of technological devices that will have the ability to find weak points without being there but by a simple hack.
