Today, many countries adopt and apply cybersecurity strategies; this is seen as a necessary element for living, working and developing in cyberspace. Despite the fact that the adopted strategies are aimed at the implementation in cyberspace, we can say that they do not correspond to the role of the state in cyberspace. The changing role of the state in cyberspace will require a new balance between cybersecurity and “freedom” to be found in cyberspace. This article discusses the current and changing role of states in cyberspace, based on an analysis of legal and policy documents reflecting the content of the national cybersecurity policy of NATO member countries and non-NATO countries, as well as reports and recommendations of international organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union and UNESCO.
