Information warfare is war in information space with the aim of manipulating the systems, processes, information sources, and infrastructure of the target state. The aim of this war, unlike in the past, which was mainly a military victory in the classical war, is to influence the political, economic, cultural and social systems, to create widespread psychological campaigns to undermine the stability of society and to put pressure on a government to decide and act in the interests of information warfare. In this regard, the main question of the article is that under the influence of the ICT revolution and the cyber revolution, what changes has taken place in the information war? In answering to the above-mentioned question, it is hypothesized that under the influence of the ICT revolution and the cyber revolution, information warfare has expanded from the operational and tactical level to the strategic level and has included political, economic, cultural and social dimensions. The research method of this article is descriptive and analytical. The ultimate goal of the article is to discuss the evolution of the concept and application of information warfare under the influence of the information and communication revolution and the cyber revolution. Research findings show that knowledge, especially cyber knowledge, is the key to success in the field of information warfare.

The United States Intelligence Community underwent an unprecedented transformation at the beginning of the 21st century. The changes took place in the three fields of structure, objectives, and tools. By asking what reasons underlie the transformation of the United States Intelligence Community in the 21st century, this study presents this hypothesis that "new terrorism", which marked a milestone in security issues on September 11, 2001, has been the main reason behind this transformation. In addition, two other factors, namely "cyber revolution" and "changes in the structure of the international system" have also had an impact in this regard. The findings of the study show that there is no significant evidence or document incompatible with the presented hypothesis and that all the mentioned factors have had an impact on the transformation of the United States Intelligence Community

The paper aims at illustrating the nature of the cyber revolution and its impacts on the character as well as contents of espionage. It seems that the cyber space has led to go beyond of time and place constraints with regard to espionage and therefore, variety of espionage and new actors in this field as well as introduction of different field of espionage have caused profound impacts on the nature and contents of espionage. With this development, the cyber espionage heralds a turning point in the field of espionage, so one can argue that by the revolution in cyber technology, a revolution in espionage will be inevitable.
