Cyberwar and Cyberterrorism Features and Answers to These Threats

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, cyberspace has taken increased strategic importance as states have begun to think of it as a domain similar to land, sea, and air, that must be secured to protect their national interests. Cyberattacks are now a common element of international conflict, both on their own and in the broader context of military operations. Attacks in cyberspace have been amplified and diversified in terms of actors and methods. Because states have become more dependent on information technology and critical network infrastructure components,many questions arise about whether a state is organised properly to defend its digital strategic assets. Cyberspace integrates the operation of critical infrastructures, as well as governmental and national security institutions and commerce. Because cyberspace transcends geographic boundaries, much of it is outside of control and influence of a state.
