Protecting National Assets against Information Operations in Post-modern World

Nations may defend their freedom of Information and availability of their Information and Communications Technology Services by either Isolation or Habituation, which are both applicable but require totally different structures, culture and governance. Information Operations are not only state level measures, but can be utilized at very low levels and by small entities. It requires multilevel preparations of defence executed together in public-private-voluntary sector alliance extending over national borders. Unlike conventional military operations information operations are ongoing at strategic, operational and tactical levels even in peace time.
