Abstract

Abstract: The digitalization of the modern battlefield is a product of technological development in the field of communications and information technology. With the digitalization of modern communication systems and information technology, malicious programs/applications have been developed that can destabilize the cyberspace infrastructure. The complexity and diversity of cyber-attacks have generated fierce competition among states to ensure supremacy of cybersecurity in cyberspace. Most cybersecurity experts appreciate that research in this relatively new field is only at the pioneering level. The future and technological evolution in the field of cybersecurity will show us that, at the moment, very little is known about how cyberspace will look and develop. Although the civilian environment has the supremacy in terms of the technological development of cyberspace, it is certain that the military environment will import new technologies and adapt them to its own requirements.
