Considering that one of the most dynamic and attractive segments of the commercial world is the financial sector, it naturally becomes a favourite target for information warfare, due to the direct impact an attack on this sector could have on economic stability. Our reliance on infrastructures that support the use of information is subject both to being used for violence itself or to being the target of violent acts; industries such as broadcasting, or banks, stock markets, and telecommunication companies are dependant on technologies and a disruption of their systems can potentially cause serious harm to basic societal interests. All corporate leaders must be aware of the diversity of potential attacks and should plan and implement measures to defend their organisations. In order to assure secure information exchange between business partners, it is mandatory that all involved parties secure their business environments by implementing the appropriate security measures. There is need for international response wherein the authorities and organisations alike use military expertise as consultancy or knowledge transfer in order to establish appropriate frameworks.
