International efforts to confront cyber attacks
Author(s): Badr Dakhel Badawi and Salah Karim Faqir
Abstract: With the rapid development of technology and the increasing reliance on digital systems in various aspects of life, cyber attacks have become one of the most serious threats to global security. Attacks targeting government systems, financial institutions, and vital infrastructure are no longer limited to individuals or organizations, but have become a tool used by some countries and groups to achieve political, economic, and military goals. Due to the cross-border nature of these threats, it has become necessary for international efforts to combine to confront them through security cooperation, developing legislation, and enhancing the exchange of information between countries and relevant organizations.
In the face of these threats, intensive international efforts have emerged to develop effective strategies to combat cybercrimes, whether through concluding international agreements or forming security alliances aimed at enhancing information exchange and technical and intelligence cooperation, in addition to the prominent role of international and regional organizations in formulating cybersecurity policies and providing mechanisms for coordination between countries to confront emerging threats in the digital space. However, despite these efforts, there are still challenges that hinder the achievement of a high level of cybersecurity, most notably the disparity in legislation between countries, the difficulty of tracking down attackers in an electronic environment that is not subject to traditional geographical borders, as well as the continuous development of attack methods that make current defenses in need of constant updating. From this standpoint, it has become necessary to study and analyze the mechanisms of international cooperation in this field, and to highlight the most prominent initiatives aimed at enhancing cybersecurity at the global level.
