Cyber war between challenges and confrontation strategies: Iraq as a model

Abstract

The research deals with the subject of cyber war, which has become one of the features of modern wars in the contemporary time, which poses threats and challenges to all developed or developing countries. Electronically, it targets the infrastructure of countries, which are now also managed electronically, and these wars are characterized by ease and low costs and cause severe damage to the targeted country. Therefore, all countries have developed strategies to confront these wars and secure their vital infrastructure, and Iraq is one of the developing countries that suffer from cyber exposure. Therefore, decision makers within the Iraqi state must prepare the cyber security environment that guarantees the repelling of any attack on its vital infrastructure in the future, and this requires adopting effective mechanisms and means that make Iraq a state capable of entering the spaces of cyber power.
