Regulation and Control of Digital Space: Aspects of Security

Summary/Abstract: Information technologies have opened the new dimension of human existence – digital space. In the beginning of the 2011 there will be more than 2 billion inhabitants using it. Nevertheless these tempting possibilities that attract more and more new settlers inevitably relate to certain threats and dangers. What kind of dangers are these? Are the mechanisms sustaining inner order and inevitably used for survival of any other community needed in this special space? Who or what and in what ways could warrant the working of these mechanisms in the extraterritorial decentralized derivative – internet? These are the questions that are partially faced in this article. The growing society’s dependence upon fluent functioning of IT infrastructure shows the need to regulate digital space. It is also related to the interests of national security (protection of objects of critical infrastructure) and to the creation of safer environment for users. The author of the article draws attention to the need of constant and conscious communication among all the players at the international and local levels. The systemic approach while the roles and responsibilities are distributed among the different levels of security is the main premise of such communication.
