Critical Infrastructure and Cyberspace For National Security: A Conceptual Investigation From the Perspective of Civil Preparedness And Resistance

Abstract

National security refers to the participation of non-military elements in defense as well as military capacity. The resilience of individuals, the private sector, critical infrastructure, cities and cyberspace constitutes the first step of civil defense. Resilience means the total preparedness of the counted elements. The EU and NATO accept resilience as a new concept in their security definitions. In this study, it is aimed to determine the reflection of the resilience of critical infrastructure and cyberspace on national security. The study is a qualitative study and the relevant content was compiled from the literature. The subject has been investigated from the perspective of the concepts of civil preparedness and resilience, which are a relatively new concept in security and terrorism studies, and the gap in this field in the literature has been tried to be filled. In the first part, concepts were defined by making concept analysis and their elements were determined. In the second part, critical infrastructures and resilience of critical infrastructures are examined. In the third part, cyber resilience is discussed. In the study, it was concluded that cyber space and critical infrastructure are directly targeted in terrorist attacks, CBRN attacks and wars, so increasing resilience in these areas is a national security problem. Another result is that the resilience of critical infrastructure and cyberspace is based on the preparedness and cooperation of individuals, private sector and government organizations.
