Cybercrime (Cyberwar) is the key to the future. With the fear of Cyberwar and Cyber Terrorism the industry will grow - creating work, a new market and a new vision.
The Cyberwar Bubble
Since 9/11 there is a booming industry in Security. The industry has created work and made a market were even civilians can be part of.
Taking the Estonia vs Russia conflict -- The Wikileaks conflict -- The stuxnet issue with us, we can develop a vision about the coming future. What kind of threats should be taking in mind ?
- Attacks on Critical Infrastructures.
- Taking a country down.
- Fake information.
- Espionage
- Cybercrime
The attacks on critical infrastructures is a real threat we are dealing with as we speak. The Stuxnet code attacked the Nuclear facility in Iran. In Africe the traffic infrastructure works on a GSM network. These kinds of infrastructures should be protected by security experts.
I would love to unleash a discussion down here -- share your knowledge with the world !

Hello Reza,
I totally disagree with this statement on twitter:"Cybercrime
(Cyberwar) is the key to the future. With the fear of #Cyberwar and Cyber Terrorism the industry will grow - creating work, a new market and a new vision ! !"
1. To let a industry grow on fear and paranoia is very dangerous because the real problems will not solved and some people will use this as an advantage to grow a business on that constant. This is an non ethical behavior. And I will not explain the influences on the society, they would be huge!
2. To argument with economic laws in cyberwar is warmongering for me.
sorry to say but this could not be an aim!
3. This market is very small for human beings. There is not a chance to get a job for the poor people in the world. Only some people will have the possibility to find some work in cyberwar and cybercrime job environment.
4. To make business with that you have to be an knowledge owner which is very hard because there are only 50.000 people out there who are!
To become one of them is very difficult. Reading and Learning--Also automation processes take away a lot of jobs in cybercrime tracking.--
5.I think to swim on the cyberwar hype to make business and to get money for some stuff is pure materialism.
6. Companies want the government to pay the security costs with them because companies don't want to pay them
