Businesses are worrying about being caught in the crossfire of cyber warfare, according to research from Bitdefender \u2013 while industry figures warn that the gap between common-or-garden cyber threats and \u201coh, look what nation states are doing\u201d is becoming ever smaller.<\/p>\n

Bitdefender\u2019s latest research report, titled 10 in 10<\/i>, surveyed around 6,000 C-suite bods responsible for cyber security and found [PDF<\/a>] that \u201cover a fifth\u201d of these said that cyber warfare was one of the most challenging topics they had to convince their colleagues to take seriously.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s Liviu Arsene told The Register<\/i>: \u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019re afraid of cyber warfare in the sense of directly being targeted, more in line with being collateral victims of cyberwarfare taking out electric power grids, internet. They need to be prepared for these kind of attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Good thing there are people like, say, Bitdefender on hand to help, eh?<\/p>\n

Cyber warfare, at its simplest, involves disrupting computers to achieve a real-world effect. This could be something like a denial-of-service (DoS) attack against a power grid<\/a>*, intended to cause a power outage, or the infamous Stuxnet malware infection that set back Iran\u2019s nuclear weapon ambitions by several years. It could also include attacks designed to degrade an adversary\u2019s own ability to mount cyber attacks; cyber on cyber.<\/p>\n

Not every aspect of such warfare overspilling onto civilian organisations is necessarily as worrying as it might be for nation states. Arsene said: \u201cI remember last year an interesting consequence of cyber warfare was when it became physical. The Israeli government was facing a cyber attack, tracked down the attackers\u2019 location, pinpointed a missile… I don\u2019t think CIOs are worried about being visited by a cruise missile! But they are worried about potential cyberattacks that may disrupt their operations \u2013 being caught in the crossfire.\u201d<\/p>\n

This chimes to an extent with Bitdefender\u2019s wider survey findings as they relate to CIOs\u2019 and CISOs\u2019 fears.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h3>\n

If their companies were directly targeted, 37 per cent of respondents to the threat intel firm\u2019s survey were most concerned about \u201closs of customer information,\u201d with a third also being worried about \u201closs of financial information.” CIOs see cyber warfare\u2019s potential impact on civilian businesses as primarily being conducted to gain useful information for further exploitation.<\/p>\n

Only about 30 per cent worried about destruction of the company (\u201cbusiness interruptions,\u201d) with just over a quarter growing grey hairs over fears that firms would lose revenue or market share. Oddly, a fifth thought \u201clegal fines\u201d would be one of the most critical outcomes of cyber warfare waged against their employers.<\/p>\n

Part of the problem in communicating the urgency of confronting potential state-level threat actors is defining the term \u201ccyber warfare\u201d in a useful way. Rob Pritchard of the Cyber Security Expert consultancy told The Register<\/i>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you consider something like Stuxnet or Sony \u2013 that wasn’t fallout, they were the targets. I think we can probably draw a bit of a parallel if we look at the progression of hacking as a means of espionage, and how that suddenly impacted a broader range of organisations than might once have been subject to hostile state activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warming to his theme on both Stuxnet and the Sony Pictures hack<\/a>, allegedly carried out by North Korean state-sponsored hackers the Lazarus Group, Pritchard continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt caught both the defenders on the hop \u2013 how do you go to an industry and brief them on a classified threat when they fall outside your regular community and the various industries themselves were caught out? Chinese cyber espionage was hugely prevalent, but if you were AN Random tech company would you really have believed the Chinese were spying on you ten or more years ago?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ingram also pointed to the Notpetya attack<\/a>, a state-on-state cyber weapon deployment that spilled out to infect the wider world, including victims who probably weren\u2019t anywhere near the minds of the Russians who initially targeted the Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n

Arsene agreed, telling El Reg<\/i> that in his personal experience around half of organisations hit by the sudden global shift to remote working were \u201ccaught off guard\u201d. He compared this to preparing for cyber warfare, saying: \u201cThey don\u2019t know about these security gaps. Up until now [the situation] was one of complacency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/h3>\n

Inevitably cyber warfare draws comparisons with nuclear warfare: the fallout affects many more people than the intended target, in ways that are perhaps unforeseen compared to the actual attack.<\/p>\n

Philip Ingram, a former senior British Army intelligence officer, told The Register<\/i>: \u201cIn 2017 the Shamoon virus attack on Saudi Aramco<\/a>, who pump 10 per cent of the world\u2019s oil, saw over 30,000 computers physically destroyed in what was believed to be a revenge attack for the Stuxnet malware that attacked Iran\u2019s nuclear enriching facilities. All of these incidents were small-scale focused attacks that caused wider unforeseen collateral damage. Should a full-scale cyber conflict ever start, the potential consequences for anything connected to the internet are frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, Arsene pointed to the Shadow Brokers vuln revelations<\/a> as another example of how cyber warfare tools leak into the wider world, saying: \u201cAfter [the NSA cyber warfare tools] were leaked, they were weaponised to infect [others] with Wannacry, hundreds of thousands of computers. Initially NSA weaponised that vulnerability, it was a military-grade cyber weapon. Inevitably it was used against everybody, not just governments. It also affected organisations of all sizes and verticals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall the fear is not of companies themselves being attacked, though that fear is present and with good justification<\/a>. Rather, in the context of all-out cyber war, the concern of industry as a whole is that malware and digital weapons deployed by nation states will end up being deployed against them, whether by accident (as with Wannacry) or by design, as with the Shadow Brokers\u2019 NSA exploits.<\/p>\n

Lest the wakeup call be insufficiently loud it\u2019s vitally important to realise that this is already happening, warned Arsene: \u201cAPT-style attacks, carried out by the same skilled individuals, or people with the same skills as those that work for nation states, seem to have made it<\/a> into the private sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Si vis pacem, para bellum<\/i> \u2013 if you want peace, prepare for war. \u00ae<\/p>\n
