Modern warfare isn’t always about battlefields. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta made this clear recently as he referred to a growing cyber-threat from Iran. He went so far as to declare that the Pentagon is prepared to take action if America is threatened by a computer-based assault. Apparently major banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Capital One have experienced massively distributed denial-of-service attacks.
In a recent Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence directorate, there was this warning issued:
“Iran’s cyber aggression should be viewed as a component, alongside efforts like support for terrorism, to be the larger covert war Tehran is waging against the West.”
While Panetta carefully worded his remarks, one expert said his message to Iran was quite evident. “It’s not something where the people are throwing down the gauntlet, but I think Panetta comes pretty close to sending a clear warning (to Iran): We know who it was. Maybe you want to think twice before you do it again.”
In his speech Panetta declared that the Shamoon virus replaced crucial system files with the image of a burning U.S. flag, and also overwrote all data, rendering more than 30,000 computers useless, forcing them to be replaced.
The weapons of modern warfare truly are divergent in nature. The totality and eternity of the Word of God, however, never wavers, for we are told in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper…” This is comforting to say the very least. It does not, though, relieve us from duty as prayer warriors, for we must continue to follow the directive we are given in Psalm 122:6 and continually pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

ROTC and U.S. Air Force Academy cadets play the Cyber Space Odyssey Game, developed by Dr. Scott Nykl and his team at the Center for Cyberspace Research at the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The game provides a virtual world mimicking real life tactics and objectives as teams of students pilot virtual spaceships or space stations in a contest to steal and protect data. (Photo / AFIT CCR)

SECURING THE ALLIANCE
The digital revolution is changing the very nature of warfare. Cyberattacks present grave and complex dangers to everything from global energy grids to fundamental democratic processes. How can NATO, a 70-year-old organization and a bedrock of security for North America and Europe, keep pace with these hybrid threats? And what role does the U.S., a founding member of NATO, have in building trust, preventing conflict, and securing the alliance?
