Summary/Abstract: Different perceptions about the role and strength of the Internet are an important factor behind the lack of an international early warning mechanism in the field of cybersecurity. An opportunity to establish a framework for understanding the concept of cybersecurity would be to analyse cyberspace at different levels, each level indicating the consequences for different cyber-infrastructure disruptions. However, the consequences of cyber incidents and corresponding response mechanisms are quite different at global, regional and national level, and the cyber security issue has to be removed from the corner of the IT department, brought to the centre of the scene, and carefully supported by political attention and extra investments in order to modernise protection mechanisms.
