Cyber and its related technologies such as the Internet was introduced to the world only in late 1980s, and today it is unimaginable to think of a life without it. Despite being ubiquitous, cyber technology is still seen as an enigma by many, mainly due to its rapid development and the high level of science involved. In addition to the existing complexities of the technology, the level of threat matrix surrounding the cyber domain further leads to various misconceptions and exaggerations. Cyber technology is the future, thus forcing us to understand this complex domain to survive and evolve as technological beings.
To understand the enigma, the book analyzes and disentangles the issues related to cyber technology. The author unravels the threats that terrorize the cyber world and aims to decrypt its domain. It also presents the existing reality of cyber environment in India and charts out a few recommendations for enhancing the country’s cyber security architecture. Further, the book delves into detailed analysis of various issues like hacking, dark web, cyber enabled terrorism and covert cyber capabilities of countries like the US and China.
Words and phrases like cyber, cyberspace, cyber world, cyber war, cyber-attacks, Big Data, Internet of Things and the like have caught the imagination of millions. In many quarters the words are met with wonder and even awe. The possible reason is that, to many, the cyber world represents an intangible, nebulous and unknown world. The title of the book is, therefore, appropriate as enigma is defined as ‘a person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand’. Two other definitions merit mention. The cyber world is defined as ‘the world of inter-computer communication’ or ‘a real or virtual world of information in cyber space’. Cyber space is the ‘notional environment in which communications over computer networks occur’. The book aims to explain some of the mysteries of cyber space, its great value to mankind as well as how illicit activities which have spawned threaten to markedly reduce the value and even cause serious damage. Some remedial measures have also been suggested or indicated to protect the system.
