          BREAKING NEWS

  • WMD
  • cyber

WMD threats are currently arising between Israel and Iran, North Korea (which reportedly has Iranian scientific agreements) and South Korea and in the longer term between North Korea with the USA. The top threat however comes from Syria’s bio stock which could start pandemics running in parallel if more than one form of agent (plague, smallpox, cholera are examples) was released by accident or deliberately by radical terror groups outside the control of the recognised Syrian rebel groups. Nuclear threats involving North Korea and Iran’s development of missiles, nuclear programmes (outside IAEA monitoring) and highly enriched uranium for warheads could be synergistic. If there were to be cooperation between Iran and North Korea on missile development, miniaturised warheads and testing components this could extend the capacity of either to threaten long range targets with ICBMs albeit limited by lack credible testing of the weapon’s counter measures to ICBM interception or the accuracy.

Cyber vulnerabilities in governments and companies may suddenly appear during  low level warfare between countries.  Cloud presents a resilience challenge as it is a platform for large data and cheap business advantage but its increasingly open architecture requires stress testing and a ‘Plan B’ contingency for when the Cloud fails.  Communications, power and water are nationally critical but control systems are under threat from access by unauthorised but uncontrolled mobile devices popular with consumers (BYOD) and proliferating threats including Stuxnet, Flame, Duqu, Gauss, Shamoon and Beebus which can lead to loss of data, information and control of systems.
