Cybersecurity as a new type of security and its new perception

Abstract

Cybersecurity is critical to both Prosperity and Security. As our daily lives and economies have become increasingly dependent on digital technologies, we have become increasingly exposed to cyber threats. Cybersecurity incidents are increasingly diverse - both in terms of who is responsible and what they are trying to achieve. Unfair activities in cyberspace threaten our economies - and the very functioning of democracies, freedoms, and values. This article describes Cybersecurity as a relatively new and unexplored security field. The introduction deals with the definition of Cybersecurity and its relationship with Cybernetics. It describes the short-term - (for now), development of Computer Security with Information Technology Development. The research section deals with separating Cybersecurity as a wholly new - and sovereign field of Information Security. This is followed by a description of the 'life' of a new type of Security and Cybersecurity and Standardisation Security Issues. The conclusory part deals with the cybersecurity interest and content area. © 2021 IEEE.
