Living in an interconnected world does not entail exclusively positive developments, like the ability to stay in touch with others or broadening of the scope of work opportunities. It is no secret that sometimes digital technologies become tools of violence. This #cyberFriday we encourage you to look at the issue from the point of view analysed by Aaron Brantly in his paper “Targeting the Weak: Exploring Transnational Digital Repression.” The article examines the available data on cyberattacks against civil-society activists and minorities living in a diaspora carried out by regimes of their authoritarian states of origin.

This week’s #cyberFriday we would like to encourage you to read an article from our archive. It provides an analysis of the way in which modern communication technologies have enabled the proliferation of disinformation, both organically arising and intentionally manufactured.
“One of the core changes at the heart of the formation of today’s information environment has been the shift in emphasis from a supposed ‘information age’ towards a ‘post-truth era’. … Indeed, while previously the Internet was itself seen as a ‘liberation technology’, enabling networked individuals to self-organise in a struggle for democracy and freedom, currently the attention has shifted to the opposite end of the spectrum, namely manipulation, disinformation, and information warfare.”

“Post-Truth and Information Warfare in their Technological Context” by Ignas Kalpokas – now even more relevant, available in open access on our website: https://www.acigjournal.com/Post-Truth-and-Information-Warfare-in-their-Technological-Context,190407,0,2.html

Increasing dependence of our daily lives on new communication technologies on the one hand, and the ever-increasing prevalence of attacks against digital infrastructure on the other translate to a growing demand for #cybersecurity services. But to what extent has the global financial market been reacting to this reality?
This #cyberFriday we bring you back the paper by Grzegorz Przekota, “Investment in Cybersecurity Companies in Times of Political and Economic Instability.” Read the analysis of how a war and a global health crisis did impact the financial standing of cybersecurity companies.
