Abstract
Regional Development is linked to Sustainability, and also, Development is linked to Security, both nationally and globally. The expanded view of Security has opened the discussion of new technologies introduced non-traditional threats that become vulnerable to regional security and thereby to regional development. Five broad types of situations or premises that constitute a security in which threats overlap and interact, those new threats warrant new security paradigms that traditional international relations ignored so far. The purpose of this research is to analyze and study the impact of these new threats to security and how they affect regional development. Protection to the digital ecosystem and critical infrastructure from threats could be by implementing the security program of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), however, awareness, preparedness, and resilience of societies with the international community are as key preconditions of further secure and sustainable economic development and general well-being. Case studies of new technologies that threaten global societies economically and socially.
Highlights
In the context of new technologies and fast-changing environments due to globalization, trans-state threats become urgent issues to regional security and regional development
WannaCry (Fruhlinger, 2017) was known as a massive ransomware outbreak that paralyzed entire nations. This attack is believed to have impacted more than 200,000 systems in more than 150 countries, using a Microsoft vulnerability known as Eternal Blue that allowed for exploitation of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol to allow attackers to execute commands on the host system (Vulns Tagged Entries - (CGISecurity.com), n.d.)(Grossman, 2017)
What is to be sustained and what is to be developed should follow with what is to be secured since Sustainability and Security have goals equal in importance and linked together
Summary
In the context of new technologies and fast-changing environments due to globalization, trans-state threats become urgent issues to regional security and regional development. This research paper aims to overview major contemporary threats that affect regional development in one or another way. Authors seek to trigger discussion, which would allow finding efficient ways to prevent those threats or to mitigate their impact, al least. The research is organized in the following way: at first, authors look at regional development and security concepts. The paper finishes with an analysis of concrete selected case studies, which help to blend theory and practice. The following case studies are tackled: Stuxnet program against Iran’s nuclear program development, WannaCry, and the trade war between China and the USA.
