The Cyber Factor

Today, matters of cybersecurity occupy top billing in the hierarchy of international security issues. Recent incidents of cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, cybercrime and the use of non-state actors and state-sponsored proxies in cyberspace have jeopardised international security. Additionally, states are increasingly worried about malicious activities that could undermine national security. 

We see a fault line running in international cybersecurity discussions.

On the other hand, you have the western world which talks about the risk management approach to cybersecurity issues.
