Abstract
- In today's world, hybrid warfare is present like never before. The top spot holds information operations, perception management and various types of cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks that can be carried out via critical infrastructure can disable the normal functioning and development of a society or state for a long time. Analyzing such threats and designing solutions to reduce or eliminate these threats is a challenge for current and upcoming generations of computer security and legal experts. In this research paper, some examples of cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure from this decade are analyzed to see which attack vectors are the biggest threats and what can be done to avoid or minimize its impact.
