“…Whyte and Mazanec are right to declare that there has been an "unbreakable marriage between computers and espionage" (Whyte and Mazanec 2019: 61), so closely aligned has been the development of the technology with the practice of spying. The origins of the computer itself lie at the heart of the Allied successes in breaching Nazi codes during the Second World War, Enigma the most famous among them (Whyte and Mazanec 2019;Andrew 2018). The sternest challenge to be posed by the technologies that espionage has been "intimately connected" (Lowenthal 2018: 34) with would only truly emerge in the post-Cold War years, when those very technologies challenged the entire infrastructure on which intelligence had been built for decades, the shift from the analog to the digital world.…”

This book examines new and challenging political aspects of cyber security and presents it as an issue defined by socio-technological uncertainty and political fragmentation.Structured along two broad themes and providing empirical examples for how socio-technical changes and political responses interact, the first part of the book looks at the current use of cyberspace in conflictual settings, while the second focuses on political responses by state and non-state actors in an environment defined by uncertainties. Within this, it highlights four key debates that encapsulate the complexities and paradoxes of cyber security politics from a Western perspective -how much political influence states can achieve via cyber operations and what context factors condition the (limited) strategic utility of such operations; the role of emerging digital technologies and how the dynamics of the tech innovation process reinforce the fragmentation of the governance space; how states attempt to uphold stability in cyberspace and, more generally, in their strategic relations; and how the shared responsibility of state, economy, and society for cyber security continues to be re-negotiated in an increasingly transsectoral and transnational governance space. This book will be of much interest to students of cyber security, global governance, technology studies, and international relations.

“…The idea of cyber-security came in accordance with the concept of cyber-attacks and piracy, which appeared on the internet, resembling itself as a ghost that threatens online data and information, in addition to risking the security of transactions that take place online (Whyte & Mazanec, 2018). Priyadarshini (2018) argued that cyber-security is considered to be an important pillar of information security not only at the organization-al level but also at the level of countries, as it includes e-government security.…”

Adopting the technologies among organizations comes with the continuous worries of protection and hacking. The idea of cyber-security has become over the years the main interest of many organizations, which depend on technologies in its operations, which requires them to pay extra attention to their technological infrastructure. The current study aims at examining the influence of cyber-security forces on organizational internal operations and the role of technological infrastructure in defining and controlling the level of protection that cyber-security has on organizational internal processes. Quantitative approach was adopted, and a questionnaire was utilized to collect the data from a convenient sample of 360 software engineers, network engineers, software testers, web developers, and technical support using a structured survey questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS version 21. The results confirmed that cyber-security motivators (data growth, technology expansion, access to required resources, operational control, and technical control) indirectly affect solid internal processes that are attributed to the consistency of technological infrastructure in an organization. The variable of ‘data growth’ appeared to be the most influential motivator on cyber-security strategies, as it scored a mean of 4.2661, which is the highest among all adopted variables and followed by the variable of ‘technical control’, which scored a mean of 4.1296. Accordingly, the study recommends that organizations should consider IT infrastructure as a main item within their risk management strategies to avoid unpredicted risks and attacks.
