    The Weight of Information and Communication Technology in the National Security

    Background
    Nowadays, with the non-stop speeding evolution of information and communication technology
    (ICT) also is the ever increasing threat posed to National Security (The requirement to maintain
    the survival of the state through the use of economic power, diplomacy, power projection and
    political power.) where people with diverse ideals and understanding can freely access and
    share various of information with or without proving its legitimacy on mass media causes
    dissensions and wars amongst the citizens. Since the world initially experienced the destructive
    impact of Corona Virus exposed in the past couple of years, the usage and growth of
    Information and Communication Technology has increased exponentially. Thanks to all the
    Tech Companies who provided ways or medium for the people to partially continue the basic
    cycle of life like education, employment, and all other health and economic transactions online.
    COVID-19 profoundly affects global social and economic operations which seriously testing the
    national global public health system. The new ICT and Digital Technology can play a critical role
    in the pandemic responses. During the United Nations Conference on Sustainable
    Development, Rio+20, Governments recognized that ICTs are facilitating the flow of information
    between governments and the public. In this regard, it is essential to work towards improved
    access to information and communications technology, especially broadband networks, and
    services, and bridge the digital divide, recognizing the contribution of national and international
    cooperation in this regard. Without the necessary, effective, secured line of communication that
    bridges the transfer and exchange of important documents from different sectors and
    organization, chaos is inevitable.
    With ICT being used in the maximum ways possible which helped accelerate lifestyles, it is also
    being identified as a threat to National Security since private information has never been so
    publicly exposed. Some national security threats come from foreign governments with hostile
    intentions. These threats may include direct acts of war and aggression. But they can also be
    subtler and harder to detect. Examples include espionage and election interference. Countries
    also face threats from groups who don’t formally represent a foreign government but may be
    sponsored or tolerated by foreign powers. Terrorist groups may seek to cause chaos and
    disruption through physical violence or, in some cases, cybercrime. Online criminals pose a
    danger to national security, including those not associated with hostile governments or terrorist
    groups. Cybercriminals may hack economic institutions, government websites or power
    infrastructures as a way of stealing or extorting money. They may also commit cybercrimes to
    advance an ideological agenda. Not all threats to national security involve the malignant
    influence of bad actors. Hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters can pose serious
    damage to a nation’s people and physical infrastructure. Pandemics like COVID-19 weaken
    health care systems and economies.
