Nowadays in cyberspace, there is a burst of information to which
everyone has access. However, apart from the advantages the internet
offers, it also hides numerous dangers for both people and nations.
Cyberspace has a dark side, including terrorism, bullying, and other
types of violence. Cyberwarfare is a kind of virtual war that causes
the same destruction that a physical war would also do. A hybrid
threat is an umbrella term encompassing a wide variety of existing
adverse circumstances and actions, such as terrorism, migration,
piracy, corruption, ethnic conflict, etc., and is not exclusively a
tool of asymmetric or non-state actors, but can be applied by state
and non-state actors alike. ‘Cyberconflict’ and ‘cyberwar’
serve as examples of the use of new technologies within the scope of
hybrid threats. Cyberwar basically refers to a sustained
computer-based cyberattack by a state against the information
technology (IT) infrastructure of a target state. On the other hand,
cybersecurity is a major factor that shapes productivity and
efficiency of the modern industry in both technical and economic
terms. The book discusses and analyses current posture of
cyberterrorism, cyberwarfare, and hybrid threats—sector-specific
cyberattacks that have the form of cyberterrorism and represents the
recent actions that members of the European Union (EU), the United
States, and other nations have taken in order to strengthen their
systems against such attacks. There has never been a higher risk of a
major catastrophe as a result of the rise in offensive cyberactivity,
particularly the possibility of cyber–physical strikes against
critical services. Recent cyberattacks against critical
infrastructure, along with the continuous migration crisis, have been
the main driving forces that led to the decision to publish this book.
