A manutenção das fronteiras brasileiras no espaço cibernético: uma abordagem física

Abstract

The changes in international relations since the emergence of cyberspace are often approached with a high-level strategic vision, and for this reason we may fail to establish important relationships with the basis of the issue. This work focuses on the largest network in the world and analyzes the influence of the physical infrastructure component of the cyber domain making parallels with national sovereignty and information security and cyberdefense capabilities. Thus, it aims to investigate, in physical and tangible terms, what’s the level of State control over the Internet backbone in Brazil and targets to serve as an intermediate reading between the technical and strategic aspects.
