Project description

As theories on governance of security explain security architectures and actors in the real world, this project seeks to examine the extent to which they are still valid when it comes to dealing with cyber threats. By analysing cyber mercenaries through qualitative methods, new insights on (digital) security architectures and governance of security theories will be gained.
