Cyberspace has emerged to form a new dimension and another challenge for the countries. Countries are no longer afraid of attacks that might occur on land, air or sea territory only, but they become alarmed by a new kind of war, a cyberspace war that take the Internet networks and computer as a scene of war.

Furthermore, it legally terminate the relationship between war and peace creating a state of instability and increased state of security disclosure.
