Security in the Cyber Era Introduction The debate over a free and unobstructed internet has been brewing over the last decade as countries have adopted laws in order to secure its borders. Many countries have adopted draconian laws in order to ensure that their citizens are protected but the laws restrict the free flow of information in an effort to keep others from having access to the country’s inner secrets. How these laws would impact the country’s national security against terrorism or other attacks is unknown. Yet the increased demand on the cyber world has made many countries open to any kind of attack from any source around the world. Terrorism is no long a singular attack against a specific target, it can now effect targets from multiple arenas with just the click of a button. The source of the attack may not even be terror related, it can in the end be one man attempting to reveal how one country is spying on all the others.
