The Role of Cyber Cooperation for Protection, Response and Detterance

 In 1997, during a conference in San Francisco, the CEO of Google – Eric Schmidt – affirmed: “The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn’t understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.” (Singer, Friedman, 2014: 35). These words introduce perfectly the complexity of the cyber security sphere and the challenge that all the international actors have to face every day, especially in the defense sector. The necessity to guarantee their security and stability face off against the impossibility to completely govern and control this new sphere. In fact, as no-state concept, cyber presents some characters that are completely different from the traditional security dimensions, making inefficient all the previous defense measures used by the actors for their defense (Terzi, 2015: 13-17).
