History says nations have always been
aware of their enemies. In the era where the world is shifting towards
digitisation, these outright physical attacks are also moving towards
digital wars. In other words, the nations are waging wars with the third
world countries; which has started entering the realm of cyber warfare.
A survey predicts, one-third of the human population on this globe is
accessing an active internet connection, and this number is said to
increase to 1.5 billion more by 2020. This has resulted into hacking
becoming one of the powerful means to take political and economic
advantages over enemy nations. With the increasing number of internet
users and Internet of Things innovations, there are
more threats of cyber criminals hacking the information.The internet
expansion in 1990 lead the hackers to explore the various methodologies
to play cyber pranks and explore the cyber crime.
Any idea of how cybersecurity has an impact on international relations? Cyber criminals have targeted famous faces like Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump,and also, the nations and its data security has been a significant concern.Thus, countries have been keen on making Cybersecurity as an integral part of governments national defence. Also, Cybersecurity is built as a new domain of warfare.
