Daily, our lives become more dependent on cyberspace yet many people know and understand very little of it. Cyberspace is a global and dynamic domain (subject to constant change) characterized by the combined use of electrons and the electromagnetic spectrum, whose purpose is to create, store, modify, exchange, share, and extract, use, eliminate information and disrupt physical resources.
Cyberspace includes: a) physical infrastructures and telecommunications devices that allow for the connection of technological and communication system networks, understood in the broadest sense (SCADA devices, smartphones/tablets, computers, servers, etc.)b) computer systems and the related (sometimes embedded) software that guarantee the domain’s basic operational functioning and connectivity; c) networks between computer systems; d) networks of networks that connect computer systems; e) the access nodes of users and intermediaries routing nodes; f) constituent data (or resident data).(Wikipedia)
A distinctive and constitutive feature of cyberspace is that no central entity exercises control over all the networks that make up this new domain, in other words no one person or entity can control the cyberspace. The lack of a central control of cyberspace makes it a good tool for global communication, it also makes it a tool for global exploitation.
With an ever increasing dependence on cyberspace for business, government, education, health, etc. It has made it a tool for targeted espionage and theft. Multinationals, small businesses and nations alike have been crippled by attacks from cyberspace.
