👉 A security weapon, often referred to as a cyber weapon or offensive cyber capability, is a set of tools, techniques, and procedures designed to disrupt, degrade, or destroy an adversary's information systems, networks, or critical infrastructure. These weapons can be used by state actors, non-state actors, or even private entities to achieve strategic objectives, such as espionage, sabotage, or disruption of services. They encompass a wide range of tactics, including malware deployment, phishing attacks, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The primary goal is to compromise the security of digital assets, causing damage or creating vulnerabilities that can be exploited for further malicious activities. Effective defense against security weapons requires robust cybersecurity measures, continuous monitoring, and rapid incident response protocols.
