This latter has become a source of threat to the states' security as well as societies, jointly and individually. This is due to its accessibility for all types of electronic hostilities against everyone with no discrimination. In addition to that, it is necessary to consider the international efforts being seeked to set up rules in order to achieve and preserve global cybersecurity that is considered as a common heritage.
