Abstract : The e-business contribution to the global economy is increasing exponentially. This paper examines the need for e-business to be factored in as an integral component of a nation’s information / economic defence structure. The failure of e-business in the future due to a well-planned and executed attack is likely to cripple a nation’s economy.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The rapid proliferation of the use of information technology (IT) resources in the business sector has dramatically altered the way in which business operates. ... While corporates have mobilised substantial resources to tackle these issues what is surprising that there is no substantial work being done on the possible consequences of cyber warfare on e-business?
Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui of the PLA in their book Unrestricted Warfare1 outline concepts of total warfare. This form of warfare will be unconventional. Battlegrounds for this form of warfare will be political and economic forums, the internet, the media, battlefields among others. ... It is indeed surprising that while the military is cobbling together its doctrine for Network Centric Warfare (NCW), defense and economic specialists are yet to co-ordinate a policy for facing e-economic warfare.
If Warren Buffet’s “Quantum Fund”1 manipulation’s could lay low the entire economies of nations (South – east Asian economy meltdown) what could be achieved by a well planned and concerted attack on e- business in the future?
