Abstract

The rapid development of technology has resulted in a reshaping of the concept of security on a global scale. Although digitalization has provided many advantages to states, it has also created new threats. Cyberspace has become the new battlefield of the modern era, creating both opportunities and serious threats for states and organizations. Cybersecurity has become an important area that ensures the protection of digital information systems and networks and has begun to occupy a central position in the national defense strategies of not only individuals and organizations, but also states. In modern times, as the management systems of states, national security strategies, economy and social infrastructure have become digital, cyberattacks have become a more serious threat. In particular, in recent years, interstate cyberwars and politically motivated cyberattacks have increased, affecting the global security system. Unlike traditional physical attacks, it has become more difficult to determine when cyberattacks will occur, what means will be used, and what targets will be targeted, which in turn requires serious cybersecurity measures.
The main purpose of this article is to assess the importance of cybersecurity in state defense, the main cyber threats encountered, and the effective defense mechanisms that states face in this area. The article seeks answers to the following questions:
• Why is cybersecurity an important part of state defense?
• What are the main cyber threats that states face today?
• What strategies do states use to ensure cybersecurity?
• What is the future of cybersecurity?
