US likely to wage cyber attacks against Syria

The United States is likely to make cyber attacks part of any military action against Syria, experts say.

"I think that's a certainty," said Jim Lewis, a senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the director of the Technology and Public Policy Program. Cybersecurity experts say the US is likely to complement an assault from the skies with a cyber offensive that could enable officials to gather intelligence and spy on the Syrian regime.
