I-COMMENTARY

Zicabange umi edolobheni elimatasatasa, uzungezwe i-symphony yezohwebo. Ukuhwebelana kwezimpahla kanye nokuhamba kwezinto zokuhamba kukuzungezile. Lokhu ukushaya kwenhliziyo komnotho wethu womhlaba. Kodwa bekuzokwenzekani uma lokhu kushaya kwenhliziyo bekungaphazamiseka? Uma igazi lempilo yomhlaba wethu oxhumene lingantengantenga - noma okubi nakakhulu, lizoma?

Imiphumela yayiyoba inhlekelele. Cabanga ngamashalofu angenalutho ezitolo zegrosa, amagalaji kaphethiloli ephelelwa uphethiloli, nezibhedlela zingakwazi ukuthola izinto ezizidingayo. Cabanga ngovalo neziyaluyalu emphakathini.

Lesi akusona nje isimo sokucatshangelwa. Kuwusongo lwangempela okudingeka sikuthathele phezulu. Ukuhlasela kwe-Cyberattas ku-logistics kuya ngokuya kuvama, futhi umthelela ongaba khona mkhulu kakhulu. I-Logistics ingumgogodla womnotho wethu womhlaba. Kuyinqubo egcina amashalofu omhlaba egcwele kanye namasondo okuhweba eshintshashintsha.

I-Cyberattacks ku-Logistics ingase ibe nemiphumela emibi kakhulu

Ake siqale sixoxe ngokuthi kungani ukuhlasela kwe-cyberattacks kuthinta kangaka.

Khumbula emuva ezinsukwini zokuqala zobhubhane. Izinyathelo zokuvala umnyango zakhubaza izizwe zonke, amafekthri athula, nezinto zokuhamba zama. Imiphumela yayijulile, njengoba izimpahla ezibalulekile zibhekane nokubambezeleka okukhulu, futhi ukushoda kwashiya abaningi besebunzimeni obukhulu. Indwangu yomhlaba wethu oxhumene yavivinywa, futhi izinselele zazinkulu.

Eminyakeni emine kamuva, sibona izihloko zezindaba mayelana Ukuhlasela kwe-cyberattacks ku-Logistics yase-Ukraine kanye nomthelela wayo emhlabeni jikelele. Cabanga isikhashana ngemiphumela ongayicabangeki uma ukuhlasela kwe-inthanethi bekungenzeka phazamisa Logistics ngezinga elikhulu kune-COVID-19 noma lize lidlule umthelela wayo.

Kuyaxaka ukuthi isizwe singaguqiswa amabutho noma izikhali kodwa ngekhodi kumakhompyutha. Leli themba ngeke lishaywe indiva, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa ukuthi imboni yezokuthutha neyokuthutha ibhekene noguquko lwedijithali.

Izinkampani ziya ngokuya zisebenzisa amathuluzi edijithali ukwenza lula zonke izinqubo, kusukela ekuphathweni kwempahla egciniwe kuya ekulandeleni izimoto. Lokhu kuyinto enhle, kunjalo. Ukusebenzisa idijithali kungasiza ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle, ukunciphisa izindleko, nokuthuthukisa isevisi yamakhasimende. Kodwa kukhona uhlangothi olumnyama lwe-digitalization. Uma inkampani ifakwe idijithali kakhulu, iba sengozini enkulu yokuhlaselwa nge-inthanethi.

Inkundla Yempi Enwetshiwe

Manje ake singene engxenyeni yesibili yohambo lwethu: ukuqonda ukuthi ukuhlasela kwe-cyberattack ku-logistics kungenziwa kanjani izikhali. Kuwo wonke umlando, izinto ezifanele bezilokhu ziyisikhali esiyimfihlo ngemuva kwanoma yimuphi umzamo wokunqoba, kungaba sempini noma eminye imisebenzi. Kusukela ezinsukwini zeMpi Yombango, lapho amahhashi, iminyuzi, nezinqola zazinikeza amabutho ukudla, izinto zokusebenza, nezinhlamvu ayezidinga, kuze kube inkathi yanamuhla enemikhankaso yezempi emikhulu ngendlela eyinkimbinkimbi. ukunikezela ngamaketanga, izinto zokuhamba bezilokhu ziyinhliziyo eshayayo yempumelelo.

Manje inkundla yempi iye yanda endaweni yedijithali. Izinto eziqhubekisela phambili umnotho nezizwe ziye phambili manje sezisengozini ohlotsheni olusha lwesitha -- leso esingasebenzisi izinkemba nezihlangu, kodwa imigqa yekhodi nenhloso embi.

Kodwa ake sijule nakakhulu. Kuthiwani uma lokhu kuhlasela kwe-cyber ku-logistics bekungewona nje umsebenzi wabaduni bodwa abafuna isiphithiphithi? Kuthiwani uma behlelwe abadlali bombuso ngenhloso yesu? I Ukungqubuzana kweRussia-Ukraine ibonise amandla ezimo ezinjalo. Ukuhlasela kwe-inthanethi okuhloswe ngayo e-Ukraine kwafinyelela kude nemingcele yayo, kwathinta amaketanga okunikezwa kwempahla emhlabeni wonke futhi kwathumela ukushaqeka ngeminotho. 

Kulo mkhakha wedijithali ohlale uvela, uhlobo olusha lwe-arsenal luqoqwa emthunzini: ubungozi obugciniwe bosuku oluyiziro. Njengoba nje izizwe zake zaqongelela izikhali ukuze zivikele ubukhosi bazo, manje seziqongelela ubungozi njengezinhlamvu zedijithali. Lobu bungozi bosuku oluyiziro, ukuxhashazwa kwe-arcane okungaziwa ngisho nabadali be-software, sekunamandla amathuluzi e-cyber warfare.

Cabanga ngamandla esizwe esihlome ngenqwaba yalezi zintekenteke. Ingashaya buthule, ikhubaze ingqalasizinda yezokuthutha ngaphandle kokudubula nokukodwa. Leli qiniso liba sobala kakhulu njengoba usuku ngalunye ludlula. Ukungqubuzana kwe-Russia-Ukraine kukhombisa amandla ashaqisayo ale arsenal entsha, okusebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokuthi ukuthembela kwethu ezintweni ezixhumene zokuthutha kungamandla nokuba sengozini.

Ukuqinisa Izivikelo Zethu

Pho, siyaphi sisuka lapha? Singayiqinisa kanjani imithambo yethu yokubhekana nalezi zinsongo ezivelayo? Njengoba nje amandla ebutho lesizwe ake ancika emandleni alo okuqinisekisa ukugeleza okuqhubekayo kwezinto ezisetshenziswayo eziya phambili, izimpi zanamuhla zinqotshwa ngokuvikela ukuhamba kwedatha, izimpahla, nezinkonzo.

Izifundo zomlando zihlala zibalulekile - inethiwekhi yezokuthutha eqinile ayibalulekile nje kuphela ekuchumeni, kodwa futhi iyinsika eyisisekelo yokuphepha. Kufanele sitshale kumasu okuzivikela ku-inthanethi abonisa ukubaluleka esikubeka ekuvikeleni ngokomzimba. Ukusebenzisana phakathi kohulumeni, izimboni, nabalingani bamazwe ngamazwe kubaluleke kakhulu. Imboni ezimele nayo ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile.

Njengoba samukela ukwenziwa kwedijithali, kufanele sikwenze lokho ngokuvikeleka kwe-inthanethi kuqala. Izinkampani akufanele zibeke phambili ukusebenza kahle kuphela kodwa futhi ziqinise ingqalasizinda yazo yedijithali ngokumelene nokuhlaselwa okungase kube khona. 

Imifelandawonye eqinile, ukusebenzisana kwezokuxhumana, nokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kubalulekile esu lethu lokuvikela. Njengoba nje imifelandawonye phakathi kwezizwe iqinisa amandla ethu ezempi, imifelandawonye phakathi kwezimboni nohulumeni ingaqinisa ukuphepha ku-inthanethi. Ngokusebenzisa amandla e-inthanethi namandla athambile ngokuvumelana, singazulazula ngomdanso oyinkimbinkimbi wempi yesimanje.

Isikhathi sokuthatha isinyathelo manje. Sima ezimpambanweni zemigwaqo lapho indlela yenqubekela phambili ihlangana nethunzi lokungaqiniseki. Ukuxhumana okuqhubekisele phambili umnotho wethu womhlaba kuphinde kube isithende sama-Achilles. Ukuhlasela kwe-Cyberatta ku-logistics akuyona into engenzeka kude; ziyiqiniso elisangulukisayo.

Ukuphazamiseka kwamaketanga ethu okuhlinzeka, ukukhubazeka komnotho wethu - lezi yizinkinga esibhekene nazo. Kodwa umlando usibonisile ukuthi izinselelo zingaba yizisusa zokuqamba izinto ezintsha. Singakha ipharadigm entsha, lapho ubuchwepheshe kanye nediplomacy kuhlangana khona ukuze kuvikeleke indlela yethu yokuphila.

Kuyikusasa lapho imifelandawonye ingakhelwanga nje ezinkundleni zempi, kodwa ezindlini zomhlangano ezingokoqobo nasezingqungqutheleni zedijithali, nalapho amandla ezokuphepha ku-inthanethi esizwe ebaluleke kakhulu esu lalo lokuvikela njengamandla alo ezempi.
