Abstract

Defensive measures in response to cyberspace threats in real time. Cyber response threats require preparation by anticipating them. Operating in cyberspace without a strategy is a recipe for disaster. Digital infrastructures require a response to threats just as a military organization does in cyberspace. The more advanced a society becomes in the offline world, the more it becomes complex in cyberspace. Instability in the offline world spills over into cyberspace as well. The events of the digital world occur in real time at a digital speed. Trend-setting offline events become copies in the socio-digital world. The relationship of the events becomes parasitic. The influence of the event in the offline world is the dominating factor for the sequence of events. New trends offline create a new sequence of inter-event actions and reactions in the digital world. The new sequence of actions in the offline world introduces new digital actions as well as new digital infrastructures that require strategic measures. Digital infrastructures require a new cyberspace defensive strategy. Defending the new systems requires a new strategic plan. To succeed is to have total control over the new systems. New systems require new infrastructures. Cyberspace combat systems require new control measures. To gain control, new systems and new infrastructures need to be introduced. New digital systems require new defensive measures. Additional development will focus on improving data granularity and integrating publicly available data to enhance precision. To summarize, Internet Weather Maps enable the surveillance and analysis of the complex, ever-changing nature of Internet performance worldwide.
