This article draws on feminist security studies (FSS) to construct a more inclusive cybersecurity. We ask: What can a gendered lens do for cybersecurity? Methodologically, this exploratory piece brings FSS insights to bear on studies in cybersecurity (both traditional and critical) to better conceptualize the risks and benefits embedded in the cybersphere, as well as the role of gender in cyberspace. We propose incorporating a gendered lens (an intersectional approach) to shed light on violence and insecurity online. Without recognizing gendering in the cyber realm, including how gender inte...

Cybersecurity has become a critical concern for many industries, particularly in sectors that handle sensitive data and provide essential services. The healthcare industry is one such sector where the reliance on digital technologies and interconnected systems exposes institutions to a wide range of cyber threats.

The study of cyber security involves understanding different types of cyber-attacks, their mechanisms, and the challenges that need to be overcome to stay ahead of the constantly evolving cyber threats.

Cybersecurity law is designed to safeguard national security and public safety. But it arguably raises a question: whose security is being emphasized? Although this act seeks to mitigate cyber risks and protect web infrastructure, in some instances, they also give governments an opportunity to control digital environments at the cost of individual liberties. This happens due to broad provisions and ambiguous phrasing in such legislation. In the name of monitoring individuals without sufficient accountability this act diverts attention from public safety to governmental authority. Therefore, go...

Cybersecurity in national and international security is frequently discussed in an existential register. However, most cybersecurity activities are normal and routine, including diverse practices of cyber risk management. The intricacies of cyber risk and its connection to security and threat politics have received surprisingly little attention in the cyber politics literature. This article addresses this gap through a twofold theoretical proposition. The first argues that cyber risk in policy and practice inhabits a continuum between ‘classical’ risk and security postures. The second propos...
