“…Information security issues are constantly on the agenda in the EU, as member states need strong cybersecurity for their markets, significant progress in countries' technological capabilities and a broader understanding of everyone's role in countering cyber threats. In response, new initiatives are proposed in three key areas: strengthening resilience to cyber-attacks and strengthening the EU's cybersecurity capacity; creating an effective criminal law response; strengthening global stability through international cooperation (Carvalho et al, 2020). The readiness of the potential to fight cybercrime is assessed by the following dimensions: political framework; legal framework; criminal law; electronic evidence; jurisdiction; guarantees; international cooperation; capacity building (United Nations, 2017).…”

The stability of State information in the face of terrorist threats

et al. 2021

The objective of the study is to identify the key factors of the stability of state information in the face of terrorist threats based on the review of existing research in this area, and to identify the main approaches to ensure the stability of state information in the face of terrorist threats. Based on the analysis of scientific works, the factors of the state's resistance to cyberterrorism are identified and the main approaches are organized to ensure the stability of state information in the face of terrorist threats. The results of the study provide an understanding of the key factors needed to achieve the legal, technical, organizational, and operational areas of state resilience to cyber threats. Further research may aim to perform empirical calculations of indicators from around the world to determine certain dependencies in the field of cybersecurity. It is concluded that factors such as the growing impact of information and communication technologies on public relations, production activities, the operation of infrastructure facilities and the activities of public authorities, indicate that the issue of security as a line of scientific research is urgent.

“…As there are more reasons to expect potential operationalization problems than to assume that the statistical computation is faulty, four brief checks are in order about the variables used. The first check is about the European Union, which has had a strong influence upon the domestic cyber security laws in its member states (Carvalho et al, 2020;Tikk-Ringas, 2015), and, to a lesser extent, upon international cyber norms. However, replacing the dummy variable of the small states with a dummy variable for the EU member states does not change the results notably.…”

Do Cyber Capabilities and Cyber Power Incentivize International Cooperation?

This paper explores a research question about whether defensive and offensive cyber security power and the capabilities to exercise the power influence the incentives of nation-states to participate in bilateral and multilateral cooperation (BMC) through formal and informal agreements, alliances, and norms. Drawing from international relations in general and structural realism in particular, three hypotheses are presented for assessing the research question empirically: (i) increasing cyber capability lessens the incentives for BMC; (ii) actively demonstrating and exerting cyber power decreases the willingness for BMC; and (iii) small states prefer BMC for cyber security and politics thereto. According to a cross-country dataset of 29 countries, all three hypotheses are rejected. Although presenting a "negative result" with respect to the research question, the accompanying discussion contributes to the statecentric cyber security research in international relations and political science.

“…While the first wave of NCS guidelines were released in many countries beginning about a decade ago, those same countries have typically updated and refined their NCS documents in the intervening years to take into account these new realities. However, past research has primarily adopted a cross-sectional, point-in-time assessment of NCS documents, either by comparing the approaches of several countries [e.g., 4,5,6] or by conducting an in-depth analysis of a single country [e.g., 7,8]. Despite the recognition that an NCS should be reviewed and updated every few years [9], there has been little examination of the specific nature of the changes that stem from these updates.…”

Out with the Old, In with the New: Examining National Cybersecurity Strategy Changes over Time

The development and implementation of a national cybersecurity strategy (NCS) is becoming increasingly common for countries around the world that seek to define an approach for addressing their cybersecurity risks. Although past research has sought to classify the individual characteristics contained within an NCS, it remains unclear how the core content within a strategy evolves over time in the face of new cyber threats and fluctuating priorities. By better understanding such changes (and their underlying drivers), policy makers can be increasingly attuned to essential NCS updates and citizens can more readily evaluate the adequacy of their country's plans. This study examines multiple NCS versions in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia using a qualitative, content analysis approach. Our results point to four core themes that characterize NCS stability and change over time. Based on our observations, we articulate several theoretical propositions and outline a plan for future research.
