Compiled by security firm McAfee, it bases its conclusion on analysis of recent net-based attacks.
Analysis of the motives of the actors behind many attacks carried out via the internet showed that many were mounted with a explicitly political aim.
It said that many nations were now arming to defend themselves in a cyber war and readying forces to conduct their own attacks.
While definitions of what constitutes cyber war are not shared, it was clear that many nations were preparing for a future in which conflict was partly conducted via the net.
“There are at least five countries known to be arming themselves for this kind of conflict,” said Greg Day, primary analyst for security at McAfee Europe.
The UK, Germany, France, China and North Korea are known to be developing their own capabilities.
“ If it is someone stealing information or planting logic bombs, it’s far more difficult to find them ”The US is known to have an operating manual governing the rules and procedures of how it can use cyber warfare tactics. It is known to have used hack attacks alongside ground operations during the Iraq war and has continued to use this cyber capability while policing the nation.
Mr Day said there was evidence of a growing number of attacks that could be classed as “reconaissance” in advance of a future conflict. The ease with which the tools of such attacks can be gathered and used was worrying, said Mr Day.
“To go to physical war requires billions of dollars,” he said. “To go to cyber war most people can easily find the resources that could be used in these kind of attacks.”
The targets of such future conflicts were likely to be a nation’s infrastructure, said Mr Day, because networks of all kinds were now so embedded in peoples’ lives.
In response, he said, many nations now have an agency overseeing critical national infrastructure and ensuring that it is adequately hardened against net-borne attacks.
Chris Wysopal, chief technology officer at Veracode which advises many governments on security, said cyber war presented its own problems when it came to deciding motive and finding the perpetrators.
“In physical warfare it’s pretty clear who has which weapon and how they are using them,” he said. “In the networked world that attribution is incredibly difficult.”
The same is true for cyber crime, he said, where following a trail of money can lead investigators back to a band of thieves.
“If it is someone stealing information or planting logic bombs, it’s far more difficult to find them,” he said.
Mr Wysopal said many governments had woken up to the threat and were starting to put in place systems and agencies that could help protect them.
However, he said, they still had some weaknesses.
“The thing about governments doing this is that they have a time horizon of many years,” he said. “But the criminals are doing it in a matter of months.”

The Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall separate Berlin into East and West. In spite of the changes that are going on in Communist countries, especially the Soviet Union, that wall is a reminder of the difference between freedom and totalitarianism. The people of East Berlin are walled in with barbed wire and booby-trapped explosives.
Our advance people had put up speakers aimed at East Berlin, hoping that my speech might be heard on the other side. I could see the East German police keeping people away so that they couldn’t hear. They simply don’t realize it’s going to take more than that to keep out the stirrings of freedom.
There’s a couple sentences in this speech about tearing down the wall and opening the gate that I like quite a bit, and it actually makes the speech. I’m told that the State Department and the National Security Council thought the lines were too provocative.
Just because our relationship with the Soviet Union is improving doesn’t mean we have to begin denying the truth. That is what got us into such a weak position with the Soviet Union in the first place. The line stayed and got quite a reaction from the crowd.

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, México, nov. 12, 2009.- Varias organizaciones empresariales de Ciudad Juárez, colindante con Estados Unidos, solicitaron el miércoles fuerzas de paz de las Naciones Unidas para terminar con la violencia y la delincuencia relacionadas con el narcotráfico que han causado en su comunidad una de las tasas de homicidios más altas del mundo.
Los grupos que representan a plantas ensambladoras (maquiladoras), comercios menudistas y otros giros afirmaron que presentarán una solicitud al gobierno mexicano y a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos para que la ONU les envíe ayuda a Ciudad Juárez, en el estado de Chihuahua.
“Es una propuesta (para) que … las fuerzas internacionales vinieran aquí a coadyuvar con las fuerzas nacionales (de seguridad)”, dijo Daniel Murguía, presidente de la sección en Ciudad Juárez de la Cámara Nacional de Comercio, Servicios y Turismo. “Hay muchas extorsiones y robos en comercios. Muchos negocios están cerrando”.
El gobierno ha emplazado a más de cinco mil soldados en la ciudad, al otro lado de la localidad de El Paso en el estado de Texas, pero los asesinatos, las extorsiones y los secuestros continúan.
Ciudad Juárez ha tenido mil 986 homicidios de enero a mediados de octubre. El promedio de asesinatos es de siete diarios en la localidad con 1.5 millones de habitantes.
“Hemos visto la presencia los cascos azules, han entrado a otros países que tienen menos problemas que nosotros”, señaló Murguía.
Las organizaciones empresariales parecieran movidas por un sentido de desesperación y honda decepción con las acciones del gobierno para controlar la delincuencia en la ciudad.
La presidenta de la Asociación de Maquiladoras en Ciudad Juárez, Soledad Maynez, dijo que la operación conjunta de soldados y policías para suprimir los asesinatos y la delincuencia ha tenido “resultados nulos”.
Maynez indicó que grupos empresariales y sociales proyectar solicitar a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos que gestione el envío de fuerzas de paz o asesores de la ONU a Ciudad Juárez.
“Podemos utilizar no nada más las estrategias que (los cascos azules) han desarrollado en otros países… sino también tienen tecnología, tienen entrenamiento”, consideró Maynez.
Los soldados han ayudado en el entrenamiento de reclutas en policías locales y tomado funciones de patrullaje en la ciudad.
Pero una lucha por territorios entre bandas del narcotráfico no cede, y los extorsionistas y los ladrones —algunos posiblemente ligados a los carteles de la droga— se han aprovechado de la situación para afectar a empresas. Maynez dijo que millares de comercios han cerrado o se han mudado de la ciudad por esa situación.
Maynez consideró que Estados Unidos podría también contribuir a la solución, al señalar que “sabemos que tarde o temprano, la violencia se desbordará a nuestra ciudad hermana de El Paso”.
