Images of war often include missiles, tanks, and troops. But the next war is likely to include a component invisible to the naked eye. Cyber-attacks can cripple an economy and destabilize a society as effectively as a conventional war – at a fraction of the cost. The recent Equifax hacking incident, impacting nearly 143 million Americans, was not a one-off instance. It was a signal that the world’s financial infrastructure is at constant risk, a point made more poignant by an event that literally put the world at financial risk.
