This book, “Cyberspace in the Balance of Freedoms and Security”, explores in depth the complex relationships between users, states and corporations in the balance of security and freedom in the digital world. The book is organized into four main parts, each of which addresses key issues in the field of cybersecurity, surveillance policies, cyber power projection, personal data, and the protection of digital rights and freedoms.
The first part deals with the historical and legal transformation of surveillance policies and comprehensively analyzes the changing face of surveillance policies and how intelligence activities are supervised in the United States, especially with the impact of Edward Snowden's revelations. In this context, issues such as the role of the NSA and the unchecked use of force are also examined. This chapter lays an important groundwork for understanding the intelligence community's impact on individual freedoms.
The second chapter examines the relationship between cybersecurity and individual freedoms and threats. Addressing the differences between “reality” and real threats in cyberspace, the chapter discusses how cybersecurity capabilities are used in asymmetric warfare and how the balance between Internet freedom and cybersecurity is struck. Issues such as the transition from the open to the balkanized nature of the Internet and the right to self-defense in the face of cyberattacks reveal the complex nature of cybersecurity and the challenges faced in this area. This chapter also provides an assessment of the legal and political dimensions of cyber power projection and containment efforts.
The third chapter focuses on data mining and personal data protection. In the light of legal regulations in Turkey, data mining practices and the effects of laws on the protection of personal data are discussed in detail. In this section, legal frameworks for the protection of personal data and legal aspects of data mining are analyzed in the context of data security and privacy rights. The fourth section includes interviews with leading experts on current issues in the field of cybersecurity. These interviews cover topics as diverse as cyberterrorism, combating botnets, cybersecurity standards for companies, and NATO's new strategies against cyberattacks.
This book assesses current developments and challenges in the field of cybersecurity and data protection from an academic perspective and explores the legal and political dimensions of these areas in depth.
