ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cyber electronic warfare

Ok kiddo, let me try to explain about cyber electronic warfare in a way that you can understand.

Do you know what a war is? It's a fight between two groups of people, countries or even ideas, right? And in a war, they use weapons to defeat the other side.

Now, imagine there is a war happening, but it's not fought with guns and bombs, but with computers and the internet. That's what cyber electronic warfare is. It's a kind of war where the fight happens online through computers and electronic gadgets.

Just like in a regular war, each side wants to take control and gain an advantage over the other. But instead of tanks and airplanes, they use something called viruses and malware. These are like bad bugs that get into the enemy's computer and steal information or destroy files.

The soldiers in a regular war wear special uniforms and carry weapons to protect themselves. In cyber electronic warfare, they have special people called cybersecurity experts. These experts are like computer superheroes who try to stop the bad guys from invading their country's computer systems. They're the ones responsible for keeping the computer systems safe and secure.

In summary, cyber electronic warfare is like a fight that happens online using computers and gadgets instead of weapons like guns and bombs. Instead of soldiers, they have cybersecurity experts who try to protect their country's computer systems from bad guys who want to steal or damage information.
