Information as a weapon? --- Do policy discussions on cyber security have to address disinformation campaigns? This is a difficult topic. If certain information is being shared through perfectly normal and legal channels, it can be hard argue that we are facing a threat. One must make the difference between the dissemination of information resulting from a security breach, and the dissemination of information carried out by state or private actors to pursue specific interests. When it comes to the latter, the issue falls more on the political realm. The difficult part is not to equal cyber security with censorship or strict regulations to the freedom of speech.
