A lot security and privacy issues have attracted the attention of many individuals with the coming internet communication and cyber-wars. World leaders caution that the cyber threat to the country is a standout amongst the most national and economic challenges security challenges we confront. This has also raised numerous concerns regarding the legal parameters of cyber activities like the standards relevant to cyber war (Dipert, 2010). Parallel to the developing investment in the lawful parts of cyber war is the increasing number of concerns concentrated on the moral perspective. That is an essential attention for any military attempt in the handling cyber operations. Developing concern about the moral aspect of cyber exercises influenced this study. This study will discuss ethical, moral and legal perspectives of cyber operations.

In his journal, Dunlap identifies globally recognized military leaders, researchers, cyber administrators, and policymakers in debates about present and future challenges that the internet postures to the United States and the planet (Cook, 2010). While upholding a focus on relevant policy solutions, Dunlap offers an overall contemplated investigation on how to get ready for war while endeavoring to keep the peace in the internet realm.

Dunlap begins the evaluation with strong contributions concerning the properties and essentialness of the internet to the American lifestyle and worldwide prosperity. While dissecting the truths and myths behind the recent ear-catching malicious cyber operations, the book delineates the tests included with creating a strong mechanism of checking, controls, and sanctions to guarantee collaboration around all stakeholders. The aim is to develop a realm that capacitates a trusted and flexible environment fostering collaboration, joint effort, and trade (Dunlap, 2013).

Dunlap starts by demonstrating why the policymakers, especially those focusing their efforts on cyberspace issues, should come to grasp the policy implications of a dynamic area. Professional contributors from the Air Force Research Institute, Naval Postgraduate School, the Rand Corporation, and others examine the tests included with guaranteeing enhanced cyber security (Dunlap, 2013). While plotting the bigger moral, lawful, and policy tests confronting government, individual users and the private sector, he offers conceivable solutions on the best way to make an environment where there is certainty in the capability to guarantee national security, direct military operations, and guarantee a stable and vibrant worldwide economy.

Tremendous efficiencies have been encountered in the course of the last twenty-five years because of the introduction of telecommunication and computer technologies. The utilization of these frameworks and systems translates into a significant centralization and concentration of data resources (Cook, 2010). The merging makes a considerable weakness to a host of exploitations and attacks. He reviews related issues, problems, and presentations of the most current research in this field. The author gives a review with a basic meaning of cyber information and terrorism warfare and proposals on the best way to handle these attacks. The journal displays definite discourse on prime target offices, deliverables, and external penetrations, beginning stages for preparations against ambushes, and planning security frameworks. The author gives a robust introduction to cyber terrorism and cyber warfare in the 21st Century (Dunlap, 2013). This journal is an absolute necessity for specialists in information technology and data security experts. Such people are in need of a direct briefing on advancements connected to cyber terrorism attacks and cyber warfare.

Part 2 - Reflective Diary - Reflection on Cyber Ethics, Morality, and Law

Security could be decomposed to the confinement of others' access to a single person with three components of anonymity, secrecy and solitude. Anonymity refers to the right granted to an individual for protection against unwanted attention. Solitude is the absence of physical proximity of a single person to others. Secrecy alludes to the assurance of customized data from being unreservedly circulated (Dipert, 2010). People surrender private data when directing transactions and enrolling for web services. Moral, business practice secures the security of their clients by securing data, which might contribute to the loss of anonymity, solitude and secrecy. Credit card data, telephone numbers, social security numbers, birth names, addresses and telephone numbers unreservedly gathered and shared over the web might prompt a loss of Privacy (Cook, 2010).

Information warehouses are utilized today to gather and store immense measures of personal information and buyer transactions. These offices can protect substantial volumes of customer data for an inconclusive measure of time. A percentage of the key architectures contributing to the disintegration of security incorporate databases, spyware and cookies (Dunlap, 2013). Information warehouses must be stand-alone and protected at all times. On the other hand, the reality is sufficient individual data might be assembled from corporate sites and long-range informal communication destinations to start a converse lookup.

The increased speeds of internet connectivity and the rise of compression technology like MP3 opened ways to friend-to-friend file sharing. The innovation permitted clients to anonymously exchange documents among themselves, which was previously only in Napster and Bittorrent. Most of this was copyrighted music and banned to transfer to different clients. If it is moral to exchange copyrighted media, is an alternate question (Dunlap, 2013). Data freedom including flexibility of speech and the option to seek, acquire, and convey it raises the issues on individuals with the final say in cyberspace. The right of freedom of data is subject to impediments dependent on the nation, culture, and society concerned.
