- Ambassador: estimates «intelligence Complex» on «global threats» .. America counts the following risks .. From everywhere!
interesting thing is that these threats may depart significantly from the traditional form, which is defined by the United States during the past decades, and that after the entry of new weapons is expected to track the ongoing battle between the empire and those opposed to it, with different forms (governments, organizations, individuals), and its premises ideology. These threats of an international character of «complex intelligence» U.S. recently in a report currently director of «National Intelligence» James Clapper recently in testimony before the Intelligence Committee in the Senate.
According to Clapper, this benefit «reflect in form and content over the speed and the root, which is changing in Doihma the world as well as the environment threats », adding that« this environment requires a recalibration of the way in which we do business, and expand حقيبتنا analytical, changing Glossary intelligence world ».
«threats become more diverse, and more interconnected, and are of character viral, more than any time in the History ». So put Clapper attacks «Alsaybaria» at the head of the challenges facing the United States today, which is dangerous, according to the U.S. official, in that it «may be used in which weapons Saybaria and financial undeniable and the inability to download the responsibility of the Party of particular», ie, that «destruction can be invisible, lurking, and rising. «We're now watching the ongoing transformations in human geography, climate, disease and competition for natural resources, because these phenomena fueling tensions and conflicts», adds Clapper, مستطردا that «local events that may seem irrelevant to us is likely to further affect the U.S. national security through the stages of an accelerated time frame. Clapper acknowledges that U.S. intelligence may be powerless against these risks: «In this environment of threats, may not be exaggerated expectations about the fruits of intelligence integration, in terms of importance and urgency. Progress can not be stopped. The intelligence compound must continue to strengthen its cooperation with experts in every field, from the political and social sciences to the natural sciences, medicine, and military and space issues. On this page, published «Ambassador» outtakes from «estimating the position of global threats», noting that can be found on the full text of the report through the Website.
«Space Alseibera»: Race a global digital technology
we are in the midst of a major transformation, because Banana infrastructure sensitive and the economy and personal life, and even basic understanding of and interaction with the world becoming more intertwined with the Internet and digital technologies.,
in some cases, using digital technology world, faster than our ability to understand the consequences and mitigate security risks. And exploits players governmental and non-governmental Internet increasingly, to achieve strategic objectives, while many governments المتوجسة of the role played by the Internet in undermining political stability and regime change is seeking to increase its control over the content in «Space Alseibera». The growing use of the Internet in order to achieve the strategic objectives also exceeds the extent of the development of a common understanding of the rules of behavior, which leads to increased the likelihood of doing the wrong accounts, and also to the misunderstanding may lead to unintended escalation. Compounding these developments case of doubt and uncertainty that we live in the face of threats of new Saybaria and unexpected. In response to trends and events taking place in cyberspace, the options which will take us and the other actors in the coming years will shape cyberspace for decades to come, with a high probability that have profound effects on the U.S. economy and national security. In the U.S., we mean threats Alsaybaria attacks Alsaybaria and spyware
Alseibera. attack Alseibera is an offensive operation is aimed at achieving the kinetics physical impact or to disable, or delete data or manipulated. May range from practical assault disable the service, to prevent temporary access to a site on the internet, to target for power generators, causing material damage and interruption in power supply lasts several
days. spyware Alseibera intended to penetrate networks, in order to access information diplomatic or military or economic sensitive.
increase the risks to critical infrastructure of the United States
during the next two years, we appreciate that there is likely little to the occurrence of an attack Seibera large targets electronic systems infrastructure sensitive to the United States, and that would lead to the disruption of services in large-scale, long-term, such as blackouts for the entire region. The level of expertise and experience necessary operational in order to carry out such an attack, including the ability to create material damage would be out of reach for most actors during this time frame. The Actors Alsaybiriun the forerunners such as China and Russia, it is unlikely to call such a devastating attack against the United States, outside of a military conflict or crisis they believe threaten their vital interests. However, Chen isolated state or non-state actors less sophisticated attacks, as a form of retaliation or provocation. These actors less advanced, but highly motivated, to reach some U.S. networks poorly protected, from those that control basic functions, such as power generation, during the next two years. In spite of its ability to achieve these critical points, and causing serious consequences, the potential ability to cause systematic sabotage remains limited. At the same time, there is a risk that the attacks unsophisticated has been achieved great successes, because of the settings and system errors unexpected, or because of weakness in a single node on the network, stretching and damage other parts of the network system.
erosion of the U.S. economy and national security
have penetrated the intelligence services and devices Many foreign security of computer networks belonging to the U.S. government and the business sector, academic institutions and private sector entities. Has targeted most of the activities that have been monitored unclassified networks connected to the Internet, but also foreign actors targeting clandestine networks. More importantly, a lot of sensitive data in the country placed on the networks are sensitive, but unclassified, and the same is true of most of our closest allies. We estimate that businesses relying heavily on networking and information technology provide opportunities for intelligence and security agencies of foreign spies trusted Alcamnin within them, and 'hackers', and others who are targeting and collecting sensitive data about national security and the American economy. This is undoubtedly easier for opponents to Erdmoa the technological gap between the armies of each of us, and to depart slowly and one of the main advantages that we have in the international arena. Very difficult to estimate the financial value of what we have techniques and sensitive information with our business, and thus estimate the losses derived from economic espionage activities in «space Alseibera». However, we appreciate that economic espionage Alseibera the might allow actors to take the information to reap unfair gains in some industries.
non-state actors
We trace developments Alsaybaria of the non-state actors, including terrorist groups, hackers and cyber criminals. The spotted indications that some terrorists have raised the level of interest develop offensive Saybaria capabilities, but it is likely that they are constrained by limited resources and regulatory constraints and competing priorities they have. Continue hackers to target a broad range of companies and institutions, through attacks designed to shut down the service, but we did not notice a significant change in their abilities or their intentions in the past year.
most hackers use of the service is stopped for a short period, or publish information relating to them personally on corporate websites pirated, as a form of political protest. On the other hand, has a more radical group formed for making more systematic effects such as disable the financial networks, has accidentally paid to unintended consequences, can be misinterpreted as a state-sponsored attack. Cybercriminals threaten the economic interests of the United States. They sell tools, through a growing black market, you may be able to reach critical infrastructure systems, which could reach into the hands of players governmental and non-governmental. In addition, a small number of commercial companies sell supplies on the open market penetration. Such hardware and software packages that give governments and cybercriminals the ability to steal information in the target systems, deleted or tampered with. There are other companies develops and sells professional-quality techniques support Alsaybaria operations. Foreign governments are already using some of these tools in order to target systems of the United States.
monopoly of China's «earth elements» rare
«REE» (which is about 17 elements chemically) are essential for IT civilian and military, as well as for the global economy in the century atheist century, including the development of green technology (IT agriculture) and advanced defense systems. China monopoly global supply of rare earth elements, and control in about ninety-five percent of the extraction and refining industries. Chinese hegemony and its policies in pricing and export led other countries to follow the mitigation strategies from the use of these elements, but those strategies but have perhaps only a limited impact within the next five years. It certainly will not end the dominance of China on rare earth elements. Became the prices of those elements prickly, especially after China has legislation to reduce quotas by forty percent in July 2010, and peaked through record levels in mid-2011 and, as of December 2012 receded prices, but still above levels prior to July 2010, by ranging between eighty and six hundred percent (depending on the type of rare earth elements). Is expected to be depleted of these minerals in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Malawi and the United States and Vietnam in less than five years. However, although the non-Chinese production of these metals has entered the arena, the basic elements of rare earth which are processed outside of China will remain limited due to technical difficulties and regulatory hurdles and capital costs associated with the restart of the capabilities and new treatment facilities. China will also continue to control the production of the vast majority of the most expensive and rarest of the rare earth elements, which are known as heavy rare earth elements, content in the manufacture of defense systems.
Eurozone crisis
European leaders are still struggling with the eurozone crisis, as the euro zone economy fell back, to fall into recession in 2012, after two consecutive years of slow economic growth. And notes «assess global threats 'issued by the' American intelligence complex that the consequences of the crisis have a significant impact not only on the United States, but also for the global economy. Decreased the potential risk of the disintegration of an unmanaged for the euro zone this year, due to EU leaders to take steps to strengthen the banking and financial integration, but economic downturn in Europe threatens to cut global growth. During the current year, could affect the growing anger of austerity on the social and political fabric of Europe. Because of the high rates of unemployment, especially among young people in the countries situated on the outskirts of the euro area (Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain), there was a slight increase in strikes and violent protests. The greatest threat to stability is the discontent over austerity and reforms, which is spread across Europe. In November 2012, tens of thousands, mostly in southern Europe, but also in Belgium and France in the first step of the unified trade union work in the whole of the European Union, to protest against budget cuts. Has prompted the crisis is already most of the European countries to cut spending on defense, what reduced the ability of the Allies to support the security interests of NATO and other U.S. security interests, all over the world.
space war
space systems and infrastructure supporting it offers a wide range of services, including communications and operations of GPS navigation, timing and intelligence work, surveillance and reconnaissance, meteorology, which provides vital national interests: military and civilian, scientific and economic. States are aware of these other benefits to the United States, it seeks to undermine the strategic advantage of the progress of the United States, through the employment potential in order to deny or destroy our access to space services. Will increase the threats directed at U.S. vital space services over the next decade, steadily with the development of anti-Capacity: disruptive and destructive. In 2007, China conducted a test of a devastating anti-missile satellites. In a press article published in 2009, a Russian military official said that Moscow high-level development capabilities in the field of space warfare.
