“…In fact, -administrators must learn how to use emerging technology effectively so that it actually provides additional protection‖ (Cobb, 2013, para 14). In addition, Hejase and Hejase (2015) stress the fact that a joint effort by the government, businesses and educational institutions should collaborate to at least start an awareness campaign that may -reach all ears in order to get the terms cyberwarfare, cyber-attacks, cybersecurity and cyber-weapons into the dictionary of everyday words, simply because the threat of a cyber-attack is ever present and will not go away‖ (p. 87).…”

COVID-19 pandemic obliged thousands of companies pertaining to all economic sectors to undergo the transformation from on-board work to working from home. Along such rush, the probability for companies being hacked incremented many folds. According to VMware cybersecurity strategist Tom Kellermann, quoted in Menn (2020), “There is a digitally historic event occurring in the background of this pandemic, and that is there is a cybercrime pandemic that is occurring” (para 5). In fact, Software and security company VMware Carbon Black declared during April, “that ransomware attacks it monitored jumped 148% in March from the previous month, as governments worldwide curbed movement to slow the spread of the novel corona virus” (Para 4). On the other hand, Anft (2020) reported that “more than 500 educational institutions, including colleges and K-12 schools, faced ransom attacks in 2019” (para 2). This paper uses a descriptive qualitative approach to shed light on the aforementioned subject depending on reported secondary literature about the topic, and offers an analysis to pinpoint weaknesses and barriers, as well as best practices to counterattack the breaches to cybersecurity in organizations. The outcomes serve as an eye opener for security officers in charge of the safety of organizational intellectual properties and stimulates organizations to adopt protection systems and safety practices.

Abstract Cybersecurity has attracted attention in the study of international relations. This issue is important because most of life is connected to cyberspace. This research analyzes Lebanon's cybersecurity strategy in its official cybersecurity documents. The theoretical framework used in this study is the Three Perspective Theory of Cyber Sovereignty. The theory is explaining the division of layers in the context of sovereignty in cyberspace. The method used in this research is quantitative research obtained through the MAXQDA and GEPHI. The applications that are used in this research are to provide evidence of data in the Lebanese national strategy document. The results of this study indicate that the Lebanese security strategy documents tend to be exclusive. The Lebanese government is more dominant in discussing matters that are administrative, theoretical, principal, and planning.
