Abstract

Retrospective taxonomical evaluation of the strategic cyber security reports of the last decade is very much important if we are to understand and to appreciate how the very concept of Cyberspace has evolved along with other and equally important concepts and definitions like cyber security cyber terrorism cyber warfare information warfare for which we seem to struggle every day. For that reason seven cyber security strategy reports, covering a decade from 2002 to 2011 evaluated compared and contrasted. Armed with the strategic cyber security reports of the last decade as the second aim of this paper we will try to examine and understand if the near future cyber security strategies will be valid with our current understandings. In order for us to do that two next decade projective papers will be put under scrutiny. Our gatherings from all of those examined plus experiences gathered in the field over the years will be provided as conclusions. © 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
