Abstract

The importance of country
borders within the national security policy has begun to diminish continuously
with the acceleration of the globalization process in recent years. With
globalization, the power distribution channels of the countries have been
reshaped; asymmetrical power relations have emerged and the needs for national
security of countries have been redefined. Technological developments in recent
years have disclosed the concept of cyber security and cyber security has
become an important element of the national security of countries. The
structure of the Internet that exceeds the borders of countries, the use of
internet networks in the critical infrastructures of the state and in the
execution of public services beyond the individual services and objectives, and
the increasing e-government applications have further reinforced the importance
of cyber security in national security. In this context, the study comparatively
examined the cyber security policies of the USA, Russia and China particularly
on the basis of official policy documents published in these three countries
and such an analysis is presented.

SİBER GÜVENLİK POLİTİKASI: ABD, RUSYA VE ÇİN ÜZERİNE KARŞILAŞTIRMALI BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Ülke sınırlarının ulusal güvenlik politikası açısından taşıdığı önem,
son yıllarda giderek hızlanan küreselleşme süreci ile birlikte azalmaya
başlamıştır. Küreselleşme ile birlikte dünyada, ülkelerin güç dağılım kanalları
yeniden şekillenmiş, asimetrik güç ilişkileri ortaya çıkmış ve ulusal güvenlik
ihtiyaçları yeniden tanımlanmıştır. Son yıllarda yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler
siber güvenlik kavramını ortaya çıkarmış ve siber güvenlik, ulusal güvenliğin
önemli bir unsuru haline gelmiştir. İnternetin, ülkelerin sınırlarını aşan
yapısı, internet ağlarının bireysel hizmetlerin ve amaçların ötesinde devletin
kritik altyapılarında ve kamu hizmetlerinin yürütülmesinde kullanılması, gün
geçtikçe gelişen e-devlet uygulamaları, siber güvenliğin ulusal güvenlik
içerisindeki önemini daha da pekiştirmiştir.  
Bu bağlamda, çalışmada ABD, Rusya ve Çin’in siber güvenlik politikaları,
özellikle bu üç ülkede yayınlanan resmi politika belgeleri temelinde
incelenmekte ve karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yapılmaktadır.
