Deception and Manoeuvre Warfare Utilising Cloud Resources

In this paper we discuss Manoeuvre Warfare operations using cloud computing resources, and how this can be utilised as part of a 21st century information security model used by the modern SME operating at a national and international level. Proactive operations for securing digital assets and embedding a deception strategy within Computer Networks Operations (CNO), can prove to be efficient and cost effective security controls, especially with the exponential increase in highly advanced technology in terms of processing power, storage and application, coupled with the readily available knowledge through the power of the Internet, accessible by all normal users and threat agents alike.
