Deibert00aToward a Human-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity  uhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ethics-and-international-affairs/article/abs/toward-a-humancentric-approach-to-cybersecurity/4E8819984202A24186BB0F52E51BC1E43 aA “national security–centric” approach currently dominates cybersecurity policies and practices. Derived from a realist theory of world politics in which states compete with each other for survival and relative advantage, the principal cybersecurity threats are conceived as those affecting sovereign states, such as damage to critical infrastructure within their territorial jurisdictions.
