As the cyberspace grew to include virtually every aspect of human life, problems we used to face in the physical space were extended to the cyberspace and in many cases magnified. We can divide these issues into personal, organizational, societal, and national levels. At the personal level, issues such as privacy and reputation can be identified with direct impact on individuals’ wellbeing. At the organizational level, issues such as compliance, jurisdiction and organized cybercrimes are among many issues facing contemporary organizations. At the societal level, issues such as cyber ethics, trafficking, cyber bullying, and Internet-facilitated crimes affect the very fabric of societies that once were homogenous and secluded. At the national level, issues such as government-sponsored cyber warfare, cyber terrorism, Internet governance and neutrality, international conflicts, sovereignty, international law, data governance and policy, and many more new issues related to the new boundaries created in the cyberspace. The internet is under the threat of being broken down into silos of jurisdictions. The international aspect of internet services is being frustrated by global leaders such as President Trump’s attack on Huawei, President Macron’s threat on US and Chinese service providers and his public initiative to create European sovereign services and President Jinping’s decision to arrest Jack Ma. This book aims to discuss the future of the cyberspace by scoping its non-technical challenges and tackling them at the four identified layers namely individual, organizational, societal, and national. This book is at the intersection of cyberlaw, cyber ethics, cyber warfare, and international relations and open to interdisciplinary approaches for cyberspace threats.
