The cyber world has been both enhanced and endangered by AI. On the one hand, the performance of many existing security services has been improved, and new tools created. On the other, it entails new cyber threats both through evolved attacking capacities and through its own imperfections and vulnerabilities. Moreover, quantum computers are further pushing the boundaries of what is possible, by making machine learning cyber agents faster and smarter. With the abundance of often-confusing information and lack of trust in the diverse applications of AI-based technologies, it is essential to have a book that can explain, from a cyber security standpoint, why and at what stage the emerging, powerful technology of machine learning can and should be mistrusted, and how to benefit from it while avoiding potentially disastrous consequences. In addition, this book sheds light on another highly sensitive area – the application of machine learning for offensive purposes, an aspect that is widely misunderstood, under-represented in the academic literature and requires immediate expert attention.

Over the years, a plethora of reports has emerged that assess the causes, dynamics, and effects of cyber threats. This proliferation of reports is an important sign of the increasing prominence of cyber attacks for organizations, both public and private, and citizens all over the world. In addition, cyber attacks are drawing more and more attention in the media. Such efforts can help to better awareness and understanding of cyber threats and pave the way to improved prevention, mitigation, and resilience. This report aims to help in this task by assessing what we know about cyber security threats based on a review of 70 studies published by public authorities, companies, and research organizations from about 15 countries over the last few years. It answers the following questions: what do we know about the number, origin, and impact of cyber attacks? What are the current and emerging cyber security trends? And how well are we prepared to face these threats?

The transition to Industry 4.0, and the subsequent ubiquitous digitalization and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the economic system, has set the stage for a fundamental change - one towards forming a cyber economy: a type of economy in which humans are economic subjects who interact with or are confronted with AI. This book examines these interactions and specifically analyzes the overall effects of digitalization on the workplace, and on the economic system of the future. Scholars from a diverse range of fields address both the challenges and opportunities of using AI in business sectors, as well as the role of people dealing with digital channels. In closing, the book discusses the need to, and options for, training and educating the labor force in the digital age.

Cyber risk has emerged as a key threat to financial stability, following recent attacks on financial institutions. This paper presents a novel documentation of cyber risk around the world for financial institutions by analyzing the different types of cyber incidents (data breaches, fraud and business disruption) and identifying patterns using a variety of datasets. The other novel contribution that is outlined is a quantitative framework to assess cyber risk for the financial sector. The framework draws on a standard VaR type framework used to assess various types of stability risk and can be easily applied at the individual country level. The framework is applied in this paper to the available cross-country data and yields illustrative aggregated losses for the financial sector in the sample across a variety of scenarios ranging from 10 to 30 percent of net income.

"The Internet and other cyber resources are now the backbone of the lives of many global citizens. Yet cyber attacks are becoming more frequent, and are now also being perceived by some as offensive capabilities to be used by states against other states. Given this burgeoning reality, the importance of achieving a stable, predictable cyber environment in which cyber activities can be carried out, unimpeded by conflict or potential conflict, cannot be underestimated. Since 2012, UNIDIR has chosen to focus on conflict prevention in cyberspace and the concept of cyber stability. The prototype proposed in this paper is a contribution to the international security community that aims to address these key areas of concern. I am delighted that UNIDIR is publishing Towards Cyber Stability: A User-Centred Tool for Policymakers. This prototype of a practical tool is aimed at helping governments and other relevant actors to prepare and structure their thinking and decision-making. This project builds on the work of a previous UNIDIR project, The Cyber Index: International Security Trends and Realities, published in 2013. That study, which presented a compendium of snapshots of states' cyber capabilities and key issues related to confidence-building, was UNIDIR's first contribution to supporting diplomats and policymakers as they tackle international security aspects of the cyber policymaking. This new phase of work lays out a coordinated strategy and develops a prototype for transitioning from providing a cyber information resource, to a practical tool for developing cyber stability policy. This project also builds upon UNIDIR's ground-breaking work in Evidence-Based Design (EBD), which focuses on how to enable better use of information in the development of policies towards the end of achieving more effective outcomes. This tool fits into a wider agenda at UNIDIR to develop innovative means to practically address international security challenges. Over the last few years, UNIDIR has increasingly seen the need for developing relevant tools that are tailored to the specific needs of the diplomatic and policymaking community. In applying the Evidence-Based Design approach to this new area of thematic concern, UNIDIR now lays the foundations for a new approach to policymaking in the highly complex, globalized cyber domain."--Introduction

A foundational analysis of the co-evolution of the internet and international relations, examining resultant challenges for individuals, organizations, firms, and states. In our increasingly digital world, data flows define the international landscape as much as the flow of materials and people. How is cyberspace shaping international relations, and how are international relations shaping cyberspace? In this book, Nazli Choucri and David D. Clark offer a foundational analysis of the co-evolution of cyberspace (with the internet as its core) and international relations, examining resultant challenges for individuals, organizations, and states. The authors examine the pervasiveness of power and politics in the digital realm, finding that the internet is evolving much faster than the tools for regulating it. This creates a “co-evolution dilemma”—a new reality in which digital interactions have enabled weaker actors to influence or threaten stronger actors, including the traditional state powers. Choucri and Clark develop a new method for addressing control in the internet age, “control point analysis,” and apply it to a variety of situations, including major actors in the international and digital realms: the United States, China, and Google. In doing so they lay the groundwork for a new international relations theory that reflects the reality in which we live—one in which the international and digital realms are inextricably linked and evolving together.
