From IGI Global - Free Access to "The Opportunities of National Cyber Strategy and Social Media in the Rhizome Networks"

A country divided. It is not because of political protests, nukes or gender… it is because of Twitter. Recently, in America, the Russian government has been in headlines and many are reporting "Red Scare-like" stories of Russia using social media to infiltrate American society.

Now congressional investigators are looking into Russia's use of Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels to understand exactly what is happening. One thing is for sure, with the increase of technology and communication channels, it's now as easy as a click of a button to influence society. Every day, countries are attacked from a cyber-front, whether it is a hacker breaking through a firewall or someone behind a social media account, no one is safe.

Professors Aki-Mauri Huhtinen, Arto Hirvelä and Tommi Kangasmaa from the National Defence University in Helsinki, Finland speak on the new channels of cybersecurity strategy and study how government influences people's opinions through cyberspace. Their examination of Finland's Cyber Security Strategy offers insight into how nations can safeguard information against different threat and risk scenarios.
