Abstract
The 21st century began with remarkable discoveries in countless fields, it has
brought along a technological evolution unheard of but together with the positive
aspects the negative ones have appeared, the latter being defined by specialists as
pervert aspects. Certainly one of the greatest challenges is the one in computing where,
according to Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, starting of 2010, in 48 hours there is produced
as many information as before 2010, but it is not knowledge what it is being produced,
most of the registered data being noise, reason for which, generally speaking,
information services and security structures must reevaluate the paradigm, the
operating mode, the working methodologies and instruments. This evolution had and it
still has a powerful contribution in transforming and modernizing the risks and threats
to the security of a state, asymmetry being presently a success feature for the malware
attacks of the new century; most times it is this feature that succeeds in ensuring the
necessary strategic advantage.
Keywords: security, intelligence, Digital Age, hybrid warfare, cyber-attack.
