The definition of cyber warfare refers to: Politically motivated hacking to conduct sabotage and espionage. It is a form of information warfare sometimes seen as analogous to conventional warfare. So, the problem is the hacking or sabotage of governmental or political information. It is probably or could possibly be the most alarming problem concerning the government. There are many kinds of cyber warfare such as: Espionage, Sabotage, Hacking, and even attacking the Military computing system. This is a major threat to the world and civilians themselves. The government knows thing that they don’t want anyone else to know, to keep the public calm. So with cyber warfare exposing certain private information can result in catastrophe. This means that cyber warfare is a major threat to every country, city, district, or community.

Canada is completely aware of this cyber threat.  Canada has used hacking, spying, and stealing information from other countries before but they are against other countries using it against Canada itself. Canada developed a cyber security strategy to protect secret information. Canada wants to end with the cyber warfare because of some obvious reasons, yet economical, military, or even political this information needs to be kept as a secret. The reasons why cyber warfare exist or was created are not yet discovered. Even though Canada tries to make peace in this cyber threat, it just doesn’t seem to be established.

Increasing the security in political or governmental security, have security passwords, which are 100% secure, change passwords daily, sign a treaty that prevents hacking between nations could also help improve this threat, and if the treaty is broken the attacking country will be penalized.
