La Grèce se penche sur la guerre de l’information

La problématique de la guerre de l’information devient un enjeu. En témoignage le texte d’annonce de cette conférence qui va se tenir les 1 et 2 juillet 2010 à Thessalonique. Elle porte à la fois sur les problèmes de propagande dans les conflits militaires que sur les aspects du contenant de la cyberguerre, c’est-à-dire les attaques informatiques, les virus et le hacking. Elle est annoncée comme la neuvième conférence de ce type. Elle est de fait un des pions du système d’influence anglo-saxon sur la question et réunit des experts, des universitaires et des représentants d’institution.

Voici les thèmes abordés dans ce colloque :

  • The role of the enemy in war propaganda,

  • Changing security environment: from nation states to corporation security,

  • Cyber conflicts,

  • Technical intelligence gathering and counterfeiting,

  • Manage and implement security strategies and issues at enterprise levels.


Il suffit de lire le pedigree de ces experts pour comprendre qui manage en sous-main ces colloques où la présence française est réduite à la présence d’Eric Adrien Filiol, ancien officier de l’armée française, spécialisé dans la cryptographie.
