In just three decades, computer security has risen to the forefront of discussion due to its use as an information substrate that fosters industrial and economic growth. However, in this short time, it has also become a predominant area of ​​conflict for the US government. Cyberspace is particularly concerning because it does not have the ability to obscure identity because it lacks physical existence and is instead composed of software architecture. Furthermore, it increases the volume and range of immediate communication skills both towards individuals and other actors. The cyber realm creates a great paradox, as the level of interconnection facilitates business opportunities, as well as a strong civil society. However, as our society progresses into a predominantly technological realm, scientists must adapt to all dimensions of connectivity, which involves many channels for new threats. Cyber ​​opportunities create the potential for strategic cyber warfare actions that are likely very difficult to defend and deter. Cyber ​​warfare represents both interstate and terrorist tactics. In this article I will illustrate how policy makers use analogical reasoning and metaphors to create public policies regarding the complexities of cybersecurity. Furthermore, I will define the predominant analogies used, explaining their strengths, failures and vitality. The protection and availability of computer networks is a fairly new policy area that can be better understood by linking the unknown to elements such as war, public health, and ownership. How do policy makers use analogical reasoning and metaphors to create public policy regarding the complexities of cybersecurity? Analogies As ... middle of paper ......t of current international groups such as NATO and the United Nations that hold the power to impose sanctions and other processes in order to convince states to reverse certain policies. Unfortunately, the United Nations was previously deemed “politically incapable” of enforcing treaties regarding international cybersecurity. Currently the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime is the main permanent organization designed specifically for this cause. The issues in question would include a number of issues including; sovereignty, technological standards, legal norms and territorial rights. The realities listed above have generated dominant metaphors that have both negative and positive capabilities to channel thought and decision making. To create the basis for an adequate policy, states must commit to a system that promotes regulatory transparency and accountability.
