Chilling Cyber Chinks #IndiaNEWS #News
By Vijay Kumar 
At the World Economic Forum, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella said Russia’s cyber onslaught on Ukraine started one year before its special military operation on February 24, 2022. While the Russian invasion had a combination of troops, tanks, aircraft and cruise missiles, the first shots were in fact fired hours before when the calendar still said February 23. This attack involved a cyber-weapon called ‘Foxblade’, which was launched to cripple Ukraine’s digital signals and distract the country before an actual military operation was launched.
Within days, Ukraine retaliated by hiring hundreds of global security experts/hackers to launch similar offensive cyber-operations on sensitive Russian entities, the aftereffects of which were globally felt. For any top commander, security today is much beyond tanks, missiles, frigates, torpedoes or fighter jets. Implicit earlier, cyber warfare is now an offensive digital stratagem while cybersecurity is defensive. The Ukraine war teaches that national security today must encompass safeguarding data integrity, availability, confidentiality, data privacy and data security.
 1962 Sino-Indo War Vs 2022
Sixty years ago, in 1962, India fought with China at the McMahon Line, the boundary that separates India from China. In the aftermath, then Defence Minister VK Krishna Menon decided to start Sainik Schools across the country to train young boys from a very tender age (11 years) to eventually become officers in the Indian armed forces. The very next year in 1963, Pandit Nehru inaugurated the first Sainik School at Tilaiya, Bihar (now Jharkhand). In these six decades, these schools have pioneered themselves as successful nurseries for the National Defence Academy (NDA).
Masterminds might be aiming to hold to ransom an entire fleet, a corporation or a nation by exploiting glitches/vulnerabilities in the security ecosystem
The year 2022 brings the technology-steered cold war out in the open. While proxy wars and terrorism have been realities, the proxy cold war leveraging sophisticated technologies would be catastrophic. Events like 9/11 or 26/11 might not be realities anymore; masterminds might not just want to control a few airplanes or a few buildings any longer but might be aiming to hold to ransom an entire fleet, a corporation, or a nation by exploiting glitches/vulnerabilities in the security ecosystem.
The new cold war would be centred on the mastery of technology as the currency of power. Robots, drones, AI/ML, IoT, analytics, social, impersonation, camouflaging, metaverse, crypto, blockchain, wallets, AR/VR and technology-led weaponry and hyper-personalised cyberattacks would dominate the cloud era ahead.
