Which kind people are involved in cyber-warfare?

The core people involved in cyber-warfare are the security experts. These are not the system administrators but the people who design en develop firewalls and other security measures. They have an expert understanding of computer networks and operating systems. These are the people that can repair security holes and are the defenders.

On the other side we have the people who expose and exploit security holes; they also have expert knowledge in the field of networks and operating systems. They’re often called hackers or crackers and are the attackers.

System programmers combine the knowledge from both sides to develop and improve software systems in the most secure way. New holes always keep coming up so they continuously have to update software.
