Abstract

Son yirmi yılda yaşanan gelişmeler, insan yapımı yeni bir çatışma alanı ortaya çıkarmıştır.
Kara, deniz, hava ve uzay alanlarında silahlı çatışmaların yanı sıra, farklı siyasal aktörler
arasındaki çatışmalar, artık siber uzayda yer almaya başlamıştır. Siber çatışmalar, çeşitli
değişkenlerin -teknolojik, sosyal ve entelektüel- değişen ilişkilerinden dolayı ortaya
çıkmaktadır. Belirli bir kuvvet, eğilim, hareket veya politikadaki değişim, siber çatışmayı
oluşturabilir. Siber çatışmalar farklı nedenlere bağlı olarak zaman zaman artışlar ya da
azalmalar göstermektedir. Siber çatışmaların tanımlanmasındaki sorunlar hakkında kesin bir
değerlendirme yapmak zor olsa da, siber operasyonların daha önemli hale gelmesi sadece bir
zaman meselesi olmaktadır. Yapılacak her tanımlama, siber çatışmaların bir boyutunu
dışarıda bırakacaktır.
Bu çalışmanın ana amacı, dijitalleşen dünyada siber çatışmaların tanımlama sorunları
hakkında “NATO Uluslararası Siber Çatışma Konferanslarını” incelemekte ve siber
çatışmaların hem teknik hem de toplumsal bakış açılarındaki unsurlarının kapsamlı bir
analizine dayanmaktadır. Son olarak çalışma, en ciddi tehdidi getiren ve etkisi kitle imha
silahları ile karşılaştırılabilir olabilen, modern savaşın en gelişmiş biçimi olarak siber
çatışmayı değerlendirmek için bir fırsat sunmaktadır.

The İdentification Problem of Cyber Conflicts

Abstract

The developments in the last two decades have revealed a new area of human-made conflict.
Armed conflicts in land, sea, air and space areas, as well as conflicts between different
political actors, are now beginning to take place in cyberspace. The cyber conflicts arise due
to the changing relations of various variables - technological, social and intellectual. Any
change in a particular force, tendency, movement, or policy can create a cyber conflict which
occasionally increase or decrease depending on different reasons. While it is difficult to
make a definitive assessment of the problems with identifying cyber conflicts, it is only a
matter of time before cyber operations become more important. Every definition to be made
will exclude a size of cyber conflicts.
The main aim of this work is to examine the “NATO International Conference on Cyber
Conflicts” on the identification problems of cyber conflicts in the digitalizing world and to
rely on a comprehensive analysis of the elements of both cyber space and cyber conflicts.
Finally, the study presents an opportunity to evaluate cyber conflict as the most advanced
form of modern warfare, which brings the most serious threat and can be comparable to
weapons of mass destruction.
