The Inquiry

To help Nato countries prepare for an all-out cyber attack. The former US Secretary of Defence, Leon Panetta, has said β€œthere's a strong likelihood that the next Pearl Harbor could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our power system or our grid, our security systems, our financial systems, our governmental systems. This is a real possibility in today's world”. But how real is the threat of cyber warfare? Four expert witness help us separate fact from fiction. (Photo:Binary code cyber war.
