Digital security- emphasizing the need for a new comprehensive theoretical approach of cybernetic security due to society's digitalization. Glimpses of digitalization in the Black Sea Region

Abstract

As development of information and communications technologies rapidly advances within nations, it is the responsibility of society’s key stakeholders – business specialists, non-governmental organizations, researchers, academics and
policymakers, to provide specialized in-depth awareness in regards to security related issues. In order to achieve knowledge on technological challenges and build tailor-made public policies, society’s key stakeholders ought to tackle the impact of digitalization. Nations need to become aware that the process entails the whole of society. As the digital
evolution and revolution emerge and expand become synonymous not only to economic proficiency but to digital disruption as well. We can agree that the evolution of Artificial Intelligence, (Social) Internet of Things, Metaverse, Digital Twins, Human Robots, Virtual Influencers, etc. provides opportunities and challenges to societies that we have never faced before in human history. Given these circumstances, does cybersecurity fully encompass the digital changes and disruption or do we need to further expand our research on digital security?
