This article aims to analyze and provide a state-of-the-art conceptualization of the notion of self-defense within international law and the cyber realm. In the first section, the paper explores the concepts of self-defense, attack, and the use of force in international law, followed by their application in the cyberspace. The subsequent section, specifically applies the concept of self-defense in the event of a cyber-attack perpetrated by a non-state actors. The conclusion highlights that the cyber realm context introduces the possibility that aggressions from non-state actors can yield consequences even more severe than traditional kinetic attacks. This article serves as a foundation for future discussions in the defense sector and international law.

Cyberterrorism poses a significant threat to the national security of the United States of America (USA), with critical infrastructure, such as commercial facilities, dams, emergency services, food and agriculture, healthcare and public health, and transportation systems virtually at risk. Consequently, this is due primarily to the country's heavy dependence on computer networks. With both domestic and international terrorists increasingly targeting any vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks, information sharing among security agencies has become critical. Cyberterrorism can be regarded as the purest form of information warfare. This literature review examines cyberterrorism and strategic communications, focusing on domestic cyberterrorism. Notable themes include the meaning of cyberterrorism, how cyberterrorism differs from cybercrime, and the threat posed by cyberterrorism to the USA. Prevention and deterrence of cyberterrorism through information sharing and legislation are also key themes. Finally, gaps in knowledge are identified, and questions warranting additional research are outlined.
