Abstract

Along with its wider reach in society, in the form of both mobility and relatively affordable access, the internet has transformed the world we live in, serving as bedrock for electronic commerce and other digital and communication services. It has become an integral part of the personal, professional, and economic spheres of our daily life. Global organisations, whether official, commercial, or social, are relying on it ever more to function, bringing an increasing need for a secure electronic infrastructure. The pervasive nature of the internet, one major factor behind its success, is also proving to be its main threat. Once connected to this global network, no one is more than a few clicks away from servers hosting websites that transact commerce worth millions or critical state-run networks that run sensitive operations.
