Cyber Threats: Past, Present, and Future Cyber Crime and How it Affects DIME

Abstract

Cyber and the instruments of national power (DIME) do not intersect in todays scholarly analysis; as such, responding to these threats does not have a clear cut solution. Cyber has unhinged DIME and has unleashed and will continue to do so many unforeseen realities of national-level consequence. While much has been written about these two topics independent of one another, the inextricable relationship between DIME and cyber has not been examined. Cyber has fundamentally altered the way we process and store data offering both positive and negative outcomes. Regardless of the most sophisticated network security measures, information existing within this domain remains at risk and accessible to nefarious actors. In today's ubiquitous information age, we need to rethink how DIME is employed.
