As we become increasingly dependent on digital products in all
aspects of our lives, the reliability of that technology increases
in importance. Technological security can be thought of as the
control of access to technical systems and the control of the use
of those systems. However, the way that digital technologies are
woven across the fabric of our everyday lives, and are embedded in
all our institutions, means that we need a paradigm for
understanding technological security as being part of other forms
of security. This monograph introduces the paradigm of digital
security that not only encompasses the protection of digital
technologies and the data it produces but also the practices and
processes that link those technologies. It encompasses the
political and social processes and practices that shape the
meanings and experiences of the digital protection mechanisms. In a
digitally mediated society, security of the state, of society, of
individuals, and of technologies are bound together through these
processes and practices, giving new security meanings to security
technologies and policies. Grounded in the interdisciplinary
endeavours that characterise Web Science, this monograph presents
the case for this more inclusive form of technological security.
Such a security places the security of technology in the context of
the security of people operating in a web-enabled and
digitally-connected society and results in a digital security that
responds to the enmeshed nature of technology and society. This
monograph situates digital security within the broader landscape of
social and political theories of security, and uses a critical
security lens to encourage the reader to explore how digitally
networked technologies are both included in and influenced by the
co-creation of artefacts and practices in open environments.
