Disadvantages:

•We need to be very careful how and were we put data on the web.•The US is attacked millions of times daily.•If someone were to break through our cyber security it could have a huge impact.•It could take hours to days to fix a breach in security.

Advantages:

•Using Cyber Warfare we can obtain critical information on our enemies.

•New job opportunities in the IT world in this field, especially for military

Conclusion:Conclusion:o Capacity of human mind is unfathomable. It is not possible to Capacity of human mind is unfathomable. It is not possible to eliminate cyber crime from the cyber space. It is quite possible to check eliminate cyber crime from the cyber space. It is quite possible to check them. History is the witness that no legislation has succeeded in totally them.
