Abstract
As IT advances, warfare undergoing a paradigm shifts. It is going from a type that is weapon-based—making heavy use of conventional weapons—to one that is network-based, a type of warfare called network-centric warfare (NCW). In NCW, sharing of information can be guaranteed using communication technologies of the network. As the members that take part in missions can exchange and collaborate with other, they can be completed more successfully and efficiently, increasing the military might. Amid advancements being made in IT, the Korea military is also doing research for conducting more effective warfare, which it aims to do by connecting each of the entities together and sharing battlefield resources. This paper examines threats to information security in NCW, as well as requirements for information security. Furthermore, a development direction for information security is proposed.
