Are you ready for Cyberwar?

Last year I wrote about the events of cyberwar between Estonia and Russia. Other ones have happened recently as well such as:

• between USA and China, (more covert activities and experimentation)
• between AlQaeda and USA
  
• between North and South Korea
  
• between India and Pakistan
• ....

In any cyberwar there are: "cyberwarriors", targets (key infrastructure such as financial institutions, government, utilities) and collateral damage (potentially your innocent business). So are we ready? Do we understand the dangers? A recent story in CSO magazine highlight the threat level and readiness of given countries as they focus resources for cyberwar.

Country	Est Mil Budget	Status	Est Threat
China	$56B	complex	4.78
Russia	$44B	complex	4.39
Iran	$9.7B	advanced	3.79
N Korea	$5.2B	advanced	3.03
Libya	$1.3B	advanced	2.86

from this table we notice both China and Russia devoting a substantial military budget and having acquired a complex infrastructure with associated Threat level (ranked from 1 to 5, 5 being highest)
