Cyber Diplomacy
We live in a fast-changing times which information is flooded and moved through internet and many things are done on the Internet. People chat, students study, and people share habit through the Internet. Not only these things but also diplomacy is done through the Internet. It calls Cyber Diplomacy. Cyber diplomacy is often called various name : Digital Diplomacy, Ediplomacy. Cyber diplomacy can be defined various but I want to define it : the use of the Internet and new information communication technologies to help achieve diplomatic objectives. and I especially want to focus the point that cyber diplomacy not only control overall information in cyber space but also help the diplomacy can be powerful and have influence by effective way. Even though Korean technology of internet is evaluated good, the cyber diplomacy is not that good in my opinion. It is because image of Korea is still bad and Korea could not get good score in a little cyber war between Japan and Korea about Dok-Do. Thus, I think Korean cyber diplomacy does not have a proper role as compared with technology and possibility, so I want to know the reason and other country's cyber diplomacy polity and find the solution. Thus, I argue that the Korean cyber diplomacy should be changed and developed quickly to hold a dominant position in the future.
Governments nevertheless need to make detailed preparations to withstand and recover from a wide range of unwanted cyber events, both accidental and deliberate. There are significant and growing risks of localised misery and loss as a result of compromise of computer and telecommunications services. In addition, reliable Internet and other computer facilities are essential in recovering from most other large-scale disasters.
Catastrophic single cyber-related events could include: successful attack on one of the underlying technical protocols upon which the Internet depends. Analysis of bsersecurity issues has been weakened by the lack of agreement on terminology and the use of exaggerated language. An ―attack‖or an ―incident‖can include anything from an easily-identified ―phishing‖attempt to obtain password details, a readily detected virus or a failed log-in to a highly sophisticated multi-stranded stealth onslaught. It is indicated why the cyber diplomacy is needed. As we can see in upper sauce, It is already known danger of cyber attack and the defense of information spill of nation is the first step of the cyber diplomacy.
For specific example, Earlier this month the Department of Defence delivered a report to Congress accusing the hermit kingdom's expanding army of “cyber-warriors” of using foreign infrastructure, such as broadband networks, to launch cyber-attacks on American allies, most notably South Korea. On March 20th thousands of South Korean banking and broadcasting systems were paralysed by a devastating cyber "time bomb" spread unwittingly via the ViRobot Management System, corporate antivirus software made by Hauri, an internet-security firm. When the bomb exploded, it wiped the master boot record (MBR), which stores the information a computer needs to start the operating system. If the MBR is wiped or damaged, the computer system will not start up.

This is the situation that current cyber world reflects the real world. The things that I researched problems of Korean cyber diplomacy and cyber diplomacy of other countries are all based on this situation. Many attacks and policy are done on the cyber(often infiltrate softly but frightening). It shows why my argument is accepted. As we can see above sauces, already people felt the need of importance and change of cyber diplomacy. Thus, the problem and solution will be dealt in my essay.
Before entrance the argue that should Korean cyber diplomacy be changed and developed quickly to hold a dominant position in the future, we should know exactly the definition of cyber diplomacy. Thus, according to the 'What is the Definition of eDiplomacy? & WIKIPEDIA' It is the use of the Internet and new information communication technologies to help achieve diplomatic objectives. and The kind of diplomacy that uses the internet, regardless of whether the actors involved are government appointed diplomats or civil society actors. Thus, it indicates everything that we can do on cyber space. It is easy that people misunderstand that cyber diplomacy is not that serious. But, According to 'United States cyber-diplomacy', Hillary Clinton said that We're working to leverage the power and potential in what I call 21st century statecraft. It means cyber diplomacy can be device that governing and power in the world.

We can see the background of this in the sauce 'Korean Cyber Attack'. On March 20th, around 2pm, a series of computer attacks ripped across South Korea. These attacks hit the computer systems of MBC, KBS, YTN, Shinhan Bank, Nyeonghyup Bank, and Jeju Bank. It is not simple attack by hacker. It is indicated that one country can collapse. At that time, actually many korean society got into uncontrollable confusion and Korean felt scared. also, the evaluation of ability of korea cyber turned to be lower. It shows the one cyber attack can make the country stop. and Especially, Korea should be sensitive about these events as long as the Korean Peninsula.
Then, why the Korea did not act quickly and appropriately? Of course, it is very difficult to prepare and block attacks. But, we should not give up just because it is difficult to block. We should recognize the problems. According to the sauce ‘Thought-out policy needed for gray-hat hackers’, there are many problems. The one thing is nation's discredit against government. It is because the doubt political intervention event of cyber department. It has brought a lot of backlash. Because of this event, works and ability that cyber department did before are doubted and cyber department cannot work quickly and propper because it should answer a lot of questions, so cyber diplomacy cannot run effectively. the other is South Korea’s vulnerability to cyber attacks.
Son Tae-jong said about the reason of vulnerability.
"South Korea has an advanced information technology environment and it has gained international recognition. However, that could make it easy prey for our enemies in cyberspace. Just like developing states focusing only on national development, (South Korea) has not made sufficient investments in cyber protection. "
For strong cyber diplomacy, defense is no less important than effective attack. But, one of the world’s most wired nations, there are many cyber savvy youngsters, or “gray-hat hackers,” who flirt with the idea of breaking into computer networks of firms or state entities. Most have no grasp of the illegality of their activities. These hackers could become cyber security specialists, called “white-hat” hackers, or malicious “black-hat” hackers who would pose transnational cyber security challenges unless the government addresses them.

These hackers could become cyber security specialists, called “white-hat” hackers, or malicious “black-hat” hackers who would pose transnational cyber security challenges unless the government addresses them.
So then, How can we fing the solution? To find the solution, we can reflect policies of other countries. According to 'United States cyber-diplomacy', as stated by Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, the mission of American public diplomacy is to support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world. Cyber space has also become a foreign policy issue in multilateral fora, in our bilateral relationships, and in our relationships with industry and civil society. U.S. Department of State in cyber-diplomacy has led the State Department to currently have Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, channels on YouTube and Flickr. New purpose of Dipnote is the establishment of communication, creation of narrative and the translation of President Obama’s speeches. According to 'Japanese Territory > Takeshima ' sauce, Japan organizes well about its argument.
It is no matter that how many we have problems and Korea is stronger than other country, it is clear that Korean cyber diplomacy should be changed and developed quickly to hold a dominant position in the future.
Distinctly, many people do not agree with my argument. They can say changing and developing cyber diplomacy is too far from reality. There is many things to do. Especially, ability of korea off-line diplomacy is evaluated bad. Actual Korea did not deal with many problems in London Olympic, dispute about Dok-do, and Japanese sex salves problem. It is energy waste that Korea expands the range of diplomacy. Cyber war is groundless say. It is right that one of the reasons that I argue prepare cyber war is cyber attack but cyber war is not only the serious battle. It sometimes can be silent cyber diplomacy war such as Dok-do.

Then, I want to argue that these problems can be solved. In real, off-line diplomacy, there are many difficulties that Korea diplomacy can be strong as related with the national power. But, In cyber space, not many countries develop, so Korea can have the opportunity to get the power in cyber space. Also, The power in cyber space will be stronger and stronger, because information can spread, so people all around the world can accept easily. Thus, it can control mind and atmosphere of people from the world. It can make some solve some political problem can be solved having benefit for us. It can be shown well in Japan. Japan has good ability of cyber diplomacy, so do the soft diplomacy with cyber using media such as making a lot of video. Because of it, many people in the world misunderstant that Dok-do is japanese territory. We can recognize the power of cyber diplomacy. Also, It can be cyber war. and Based on many research, there are many bright ways to changing and developing.
First of all, the distrust of cyber department can be solved by changing the way to connect with nation. It can learn from United State. In United States, expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world through one of the device, multimedia and social media to reach publics, of cyber diplomacy such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and Dipnote. Especially creation of narrative and the translation of President Obama’s speeches will be helpful of announcing Korea. and Considering that (gray-hat hackers) are often liberal and defiant, the nation should embrace them with a well-thought-out strategy. Otherwise, they could become cyber terrorists or black-hat hackers who would threaten national security, South Korea should make more national efforts to build its cyber security capabilities in terms of weapons systems, personnel, institutions, military doctrines, training facilities and so on. If we change and develop in bright way such as I mentioned upper, it will have better result and it is necessary in this society.
I mentioned several times that why we need to change and develop the cyber diplomacy. As I said in Narration, already several attacks are done and it brought it society of Korea. and not only for cyber attack but for preparing a political cyber diplomacy strategy. and It is the way that Korea can have strong national power if we change and develop the cyber diplomacy. The one problems is distrust of nation against government and because of this, government cannot run well. also The other problem is lack of people who want to protector of country. I suggest several ways to change and develop the problems of Korea cyber diplomacy. The distrust of cyber department can be solved by changing the way to connect with nation. It can learn from United State. In United States, expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world through one of the device, multimedia and social media to reach publics, of cyber diplomacy such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and Dipnote.

Otherwise, they could become cyber terrorists or black-hat hackers who would threaten national security, South Korea should make more national efforts to build its cyber security capabilities in terms of weapons systems, personnel, institutions, military doctrines, training facilities and so on. There is a way to be legal grounds established so the military can rapidly and effectively respond to cyberattacks based on the expectation that before any conventional warfare, enemy forces might launch large-scale cyber attacks. If we have proper and bright solution of these problem, changing and developing the cyber diplomacy will bring the growth of Korea diplomacy. and I suggest the proper and bright way to change and develop. If you ignore my argument, Korea can suffer from the sorrow of weak nation in the area, cyber diplomacy once again. Thus, Korean cyber diplomacy should be changed and developed quickly to hold a dominant position in the future.
