Abstract

The internet, which is one of the greatest technological advances in the area of ​​communications, has brought several advantages to society, as it provides greater interaction between people from the most varied parts of the world without the need for physical displacement. Over the years, society has become increasingly dependent on this technology, since most of the services used by the population are found on the world wide web. The negative side of this technological revolution is due to the exploitation, through hackers, of the flaws in this extensive data network, so security incidents started to appear in the course of its use. As a result, conflicts that directly affect society have arisen. For this reason, the term cyber war emerged, because technological resources are used for the same purposes as conventional warfare. The Brazilian Armed Forces have strategies for preventing attacks for a better cyber defense in Brazil.
