This is the
position paper I did for CIMUN XI, where I was in the SPECPOL committee (Special Political and Decolonization
Committee).
TOPIC B: Reducing the threat of cyber warfare
Cyber warfare is defined by the member of the
USA National Security Council, Richard A. Clarke as "actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation's computers
or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption". Cyber
warfare is the hacking by experts to damage another country from computers,
using the Internet as a weapon. The Internet is an international computer
network that has affected in drastic way the commercial, educational and
governmental aspects of the actual times. Cyber warfare is a conflict involving the Internet where people
can steal money from banks, operate transportation and hospitalization systems,
and damage a nation’s weapon systems. Recent cases where cyber warfare was used
as a method of action include Brazil in January 2005 where 3 cities where
affected; Estonia on September 2007 where more than 3 million people were
damaged; Vitoria where a company paid $7,000,000 for actions they didn’t committed.
The UN human rights chief voices concern at reported ‘cyber
war’ against WikiLeaks on December 2010. Cyber warfare is becoming a common method for
extracting confidential information and is causing damaged beyond
expectations.
Italy is against the method of cyber warfare. My
country is currently not familiar with this type of attacks, nevertheless
analysts and decision-makers are looking and researching its dangers and
different types of incomes to be prepare in every possible scenario. The existing
security in the cyber warfare threats consists of the police, the military and
governmental departments, but it’s looking forward to expanding its security as
well as its knowledge about the topic. Taking in consideration the attacks on
Estonia on 2007, an Italian official said that the defense are protecting its
networks to combat cyber threats, but some observers said that it is not
involved in security work.
In light of this conflict,
my delegation proposes the following solutions, which are on the way of being
implemented or are already in practice by our government to avoid being a
victim of cyber warfare. First, in order to eliminate the constant threat,
Italy suggests all delegations to increase web security on their electronic
databases and research engines by hiring professionals of software security, second, Italy suggests the start of an
international awareness program that would be dedicated to inform the general
population about the possible risks that relaying without caution on online
transactions and information storage may cause. Last, Italy believes that a
proper legislation of these crimes must be set in place.

This 3 are Multimedia projects I did on Photoshop. The first one is an advertisement of ¨Translife¨ which can turn you young again, so I did myself old. The second one is myself with Blair and Serena, from Gossip Girl, and the third one is myself scary and creepy.
I love Photoshop, and I enjoy a lot using it.
