New Forms and Features of Cyber Confrontations

Abstract

The evolution of the cyberspace domain and its accompanying management tools has ushered in an era characterized by the emergence ofnew forms of confrontation: cy ber blockades and cy ber sanctions. This development has paved the ways for enhanced capabilities in economic management, the expansion of diplomatic and trade relationships, and ultimately, the safeguarding of national interests at an unprecedented level. This paper presents the results of an analysis of these new categories, elucidating their interconnectedness, and highlighting the evolution and continued development of these two domains, particularly within cyberspace. The authors draw attention to the new dimensions of confrontation within the cyberspace realm, encompassing explicit and hidden threats to individuals, society, and the state.
