  • The Dragon and the Computer: Why Intellectual Property Theft is Compatible with Chinese Cyber-Warfare Doctrine
    2013
    Co-Authors: Shakarian Paulo, Shakarian Jana, Ruef Andrew
    Abstract:

    Along with the USA and Russia, China is often considered one of the leading cyber-powers in the world. In this excerpt, we explore how Chinese military thought, developed in the 1990s, influenced their cyber-Operations in the early 2000s. In particular, we examine the ideas of "Unrestricted Warfare" and "Active Offense" and discuss how they can permit for the theft of intellectual property. We then specifically look at how the case study of Operation Aurora, a cyber-Operation directed against many major U.S. technology and defense firms, reflects some of these ideas.Comment: This is an excerpt from the upcoming book Introduction to Cyber-Warfare: A Multidisciplinary Approach published by Syngress (ISBN: 978-0124078147

  • Conceptualizing Financial Loses as a Result of Advanced Persistent Threats
    2013
    Co-Authors: Christopher Levine
    Abstract:

    Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks are the biggest threat in the computing world. Currently, there is ample information available on how these attacks occur and who supports these attacks. However, there is dearth of information available that adequately describes the potentiality for financial losses. These losses are a direct result of the attacks themselves, however these attacks could only operate with the support of well-funded groups, such as nation states. Therefore, it is important to understand this relationship to conceptualize how these losses occur. In exploring the results of both Operation Aurora and Stuxnet, two famous APT attacks, it is evident that there are considerable financial losses that go along with APT attacks, thus making them a threat.
