Digital Diplomacy and Cybersecurity

Recently, modern concepts have appeared widely in the international arena, these concepts have become widely spoken about, and the reason for this is Instagram, etc., which are now widely used. Despite the adverse effects of these digital means, the positive results are non-neglectable, as they facilitate communication with the audience and make the world become like a small village. Due to the widespread use of modern digital technology and its various applications such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, especially in digital diplomacy, international diplomacy is spreading widely. Still, in any case, it is not a substitute for traditional diplomacy. Digital diplomacy, on the other hand, is described as a type of public diplomacy that includes the usage of digital technology, media platforms, social media, and low-cost communication with the public. Digital diplomacy has many goals that it seeks to achieve, the most important of which is communicating with the audience virtually and providing new communication tools to the public to communicate and influence it using the official means of the state via the Internet. Among the tools of this digital diplomacy are social media, virtual embassies, websites, and the online education of diplomats.
