Geo-Poli-Cyber™ Warfare, Risks & Threats

What Are Geo-Poli-Cyber™ (GPCyber™) Warfare, Risks & Threats?

Geo-Poli-Cyber™ warfare is the new global reality that is impacting governments, organizations and citizens everywhere, without exception. No one immune from its Geo-Poli-Cyber™ attacks that are political, ideological, terrorist, extremist, ‘religious’ and/or geo-politically motivated.

Background

MLi Group chairman Khaled Fattal created the terms Poli-Cyber™ and Geo-Poli-Cyber™ (GPCyber™) back in 2012 because of seismic game-changing events he had observed years before. Today, Fattal has been vindicated for believing back then that these events and trends will cause mitigation models that are followed like gospel to fail routinely. He also believed that these trends and failures to mitigate will critically transform the security mitigation strategies, models, and solutions forever. Fattal’s vision was infused by a philosophical ethos that “if you cannot accurately and correctly name the threat, you cannot mitigate that threat”.

Definition

Geo-Poli-Cyber™ warfare has spread worldwide in recent years through cyber attacks that are political, ideological, terrorist, extremist, ‘religious’ and/or geo-politically motivated. GPCyber™ attacks’ goals are to advance a political, ideological, geopolitical and economic doctrine, or to coerce governments and corporate leaders into adopting different strategies from those that serve their stakeholders and replace them with strategies that will serve the perpetrators and/or their masters’ interests.

GPCyber™ attacks are often aimed at coercing, altering or damaging the economic fate and/or the political directions of nations and organizations.

GPCyber™ Perpetrators & Damage Impact?

Some of the Key perpetrators of devastating, debilitating and destructive GPCyber™ motivated attacks are the new breed of extremist and terrorist groups, lone wolves, and rogue states amongst many others.

GPCyber™ perpetrators are often directed or sponsored by national security agencies and/or proxies of not only enemies but ‘presumed allies’ who can often cause more damage than adversaries or enemies.

Cyber security strategies and solutions have failed and will continue to fail to mitigate, defend and protect national sovereignty and corporate security from Geo-Poli-Cyber™ attacks on unprecedented scales and with devastating political, social, financial and economic consequences.

More Sinister and Destructive Than Financial Motivations

Geo-Poli-Cyber™ attacks are significantly different from financially motivated cyber-attacks in damage, scale, magnitude as requiring different and upscaled risk mitigation strategies and solutions.

GPCyber™ attacks can have dire direct & indirect impact on the nation state, organizations and their stakeholders.  This is especially so in their impact on citizens’ lives and livelihoods.

GPCyber™ Motivations & Mitigation Strategies & Solutions

MLi Group chairman Mr. Khaled Fattal has been involved in the global infrastructure of the Internet and its security and stability since the mid to late 90’s.

in 2012, led by chairman Fattal, MLi Group embarked on creating the ‘Survivability Strategies™, Solutions and Protocols to mitigate Geo-Poli-Cyber™ risks that go beyond followed strategies and solutions. MLi has continued evolving and improving these strategies and solutions ever since.

Vindicated Vision & Predictions 

Fattal accurately predicted that cyber security solutions designed to mitigate financially motivated attacks will fail to mitigate GPCyber™ warfare motivated cyber attacks.

Today, national and corporate resiliency, continuity, and cyber security strategies and solutions keep failing on unprecedented scales in defending and mitigating alike – yet they continue being followed and relied upon like gospel to the detriment of all stakeholders.

Fattal was also vindicated with his 2012 visionary prediction that GPCyber™ attacks will lead to unprecedented and unmitigated compromises that have become routine occurrences and a fact of today’s daily life.

Ransomware often a Decoy to More Sinister GPCyber™ Motivations

MLi Group has documented specific incidents where financially motivated ransomware cyber attacks were used as a decoy for more sinister GPCyber™ motivations. Ask us to address this factor during your upcoming private briefing when you submit your Expression of Interest request below.

GPCyber™ Threat Vector

Today, the world is heavily threatened by this new “GPCyber™ Warfare Threat Vector” and its risks are escalating exponentially.

National Sovereignty & Corporate Security at Unprecedented New Risk

Organizations and governments all over the world that allow themselves to remain seriously unmitigated against GPCyber™ attacks are increasing the likelihood of potential catastrophic events being perpetrated on them. Such compromises will not only seriously damage their corporate and national security, but also ‘Effective, Competitive Sovereign and Corporate Survivability”.
