SİBER GÜVENLİKTE TAM KORUMA VE GÜVENLİK (FPS) STANDARDINI UYGULAMA GEREKLİLİĞİ: DİJİTAL VARLIKLAR

Öz

Bu makale siber güvenlik ve siber tehditlere genel bir bakışı tartışacaktır ancak diğer siber güvenlik koruma alanlarından daha çok internet sitesi ve bilgisayar formunda siber saldırıların dijital boyutlarına odaklanacaktır. Fakat siber güvenliğin BIT’lere dahil edilmesi ihtimalinin detaylarına inmeden önce, bu bağlamda devlet egemenliği, yargı yetkisi ve siber altyapı üzerinde kontrol ve siber faaliyetlerden devletin tipik uluslararası hukuk sorumluluğu ile ilgili bu meselelere ek olarak ilk olarak yabancı ülkelerden gelen siber tehditleri ele almak uygun olacaktır. Bazı siber saldırılar yurt dışı kaynaklı olmaları ile bilindiğinden bu husus önemlidir. Bu makale, çok merkezli yönetim merceğinden küresel siber güvenliği arttırmak için BIT’lerin ve ticaret anlaşmalarının kullanılabilirliğinin analizleri ile oluşturulacaktır.

THE NEED TO APPLY FULL PROTECTION AND SECURITY (FPS) STANDARD TO CYBER SECURITY: DIGITAL ASSETS

Öz

This article will discuss a general overview of cyber security and cyber threats but will focus more on the digital aspect of cyber-attacks in the form of websites and computers than other areas of cyber security protection. But before going into detail about the possibility of including cyber security to BITs, it would be appropriate at this juncture to firstly elucidate on the issues relating to cyber threats that may be initiated from foreign countries to other States, by addressing the issues relating to State sovereignty, jurisdiction, and control over cyber infrastructure, and in addition to those issues that deals with the application of typical public international laws of State Responsibility to cyber operations. This may be relevant as some cyber-attacks are known to have their links from abroad. This article will be rounded up by analysing the employability of BITs and trade agreements to promote global cyber security via the lens of polycentrism of governance.

Anahtar Kelimeler
