Abstract
The exponential permeation of emerging technologies has become a source of international debate on defining cyber activities linked to the evolving strategies of warfare. Cyber espionage is a growing national security issue. The developing cyber-related aspects of espionage have meant that threats are becoming limitless while targeting various actors. There are further issues related to the categorization of non-state actors in the discourse, and how international legal frameworks on the topic may develop in relation to international security. While the imminent threat of cyber espionage certainly impacts the political interactions between nation-states and may increasingly change the nature of modern warfare, non-state actors and identifiable vulnerabilities are also implicated. The chapter aims to foster the enhancement of policy and capacity to address cyber espionage in the promotion of international security. It examines the impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence in the expansion of cyber espionage, the emergent international and national approaches to delineating the discourse, and the normative implications for international cyber security strategies in the development of regulatory frameworks.
