Global critical infrastructure: Attacking the vulnerability of global cyber networks to create societal collapse. Sanchez Caicedo, D. Ph.D. Thesis, JORGE TADEO LOZANO UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, 2017. abstract bibtex The more interconnected and complex our systems of critical infrastructure become, the more they are vulnerable to states and non-states actions. Cyber capabilities, both offensive and defensive, have become of critical importance to all players in the international system. As a target, these capabilities could be used against social, economic and military stability without employing brute force. Even though the world has not witnessed a direct cyber-war, multiple computer network attacks have taken place affecting locations all around the globe. These events give rise to an important question: how catastrophic could a larger cyberattack be in the age of technological prevalence. Using public domain information, this research will therefore consider Societal Collapse as the most transcendental outcome of a major cyber-attack; considering the higher dependence by financial and energetic sector on the complex cyber-systems. An attack could generate a massive effect of disruption, uncertainty, panic, instability among individuals and organizations inducing global instability.
