Abstract

The anarchic nature of cyberspace makes it difficult to effectively control cyber attacks targeting civilians and even 
national facilities. This uncontrollable and potentially explosive danger must be immediately contained from realists’ 
perspective. In addition, weaponized cyber attacks can also become a means for hostile forces to weaken the strength 
of other countries, posing an imminent threat to the country’s survival. Given the invisible nature of cyber attacks, a 
country should have policies and means to proactively detect and destroy potential cyber threats.
