Abstract

States and non-states actors in the Middle East are totally aware about the strategic importance of cyberspace. They all use it in the conflicts where they are involved in order to improve, for example, their communication, propaganda or intelligence operations. Nevertheless, all these actors have different capabilities in the cyber field. This article sums up how Middle East governments are developing those offensive capabilities and how cyber has changed the way States handle the threat that they are facing. In the other hand, it analyzes how non-states actors are using cyber tools and what kind of targets they are reaching or they want to reach in the near future.
