	Strategic War . . . in Cyberspace
		National security is becoming progressively more dependent on and identified with assets related to the "information revolution." As part of this revolution, both defense and civilian activities are becoming more heavily dependent on computers and communications, and a variety of key information systems are becoming more densely and extensively interlinked.
		Recognizing this possibility, in January 1995 the Secretary of Defense established an Information Warfare Executive Board to facilitate "the development and achievement of national information warfare goals." RAND was asked to provide an analytic framework and exercise for identifying defensive information warfare issues, exploring their consequences, and highlighting starting points for policy development.
		In contrast to the strategic nuclear environment of the cold war, a strategic information attack on the United States might be made without access to large financial resources or state sponsorship.

	Roger Clarke's Strategic IS Theory
		The topic of 'strategic information systems' is concerned with systems which contribute significantly to the achievement of an organisation's overall objectives.
		Strategic information systems theory will then be shown to be concerned with the use of information technology to support or sharpen an enterprise's competitive strategy.
		System (user) targets are those entities involved with using the application; competitive arena targets are those competitors of the enterprise (suppliers, customers, distribution channels, or rival arenas) whose competitive position is affected by the firm's use of information technology and the thrust it supports or shapes.
