Battlefield Cyberspace

Abstract

The threat of cyber terrorism has become a reality with recent attacks such as Stuxtnet, Flame, Sony Pictures, and North Korea's websites. As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to become more hyperconnected it will be imperative that cyber security experts to develop new security architectures for multiple platforms such as mobile devices, laptops, embedded systems, and even wearable displays. The futures of national and international security rely on complex countermeasures to ensure that a proper security posture is maintained during this state of hyperconnectivity. To protect these systems from exploitation of vulnerabilities it is essential to understand current and future threats to include the laws that drive their need to be secured. Examined within this chapter are the potential security related threats with the use of social media, mobile devices, virtual worlds, augmented reality, and mixed reality.

Conceptualización del ciberespacio humano

“…La dilución de la identidad afirma, en general, que un usuario puede tener múltiples versiones de sí mismo en el ciberespacio, que estas pueden ser reales o falsas y que no necesariamente es posible saber con certeza quién está detrás manipulando los dispositivos (Bakken et al, 2004;Mcdonald & Mills, 2010;Pérez et al, 2018;Shamsi et al, 2016). Finalmente, la hiperconectividad presenta las consecuencias que se generan socialmente del tiempo que las personas permanecen haciendo uso del ciberespacio, de la forma como estas constituyen una audiencia que intercambia a gran velocidad información y de la intrincada red de infraestructura conectada a lo largo y ancho del globo (Dawson et al, 2017).…”
