Synopsis from Frivarld.se, originally in Swedish, translated here into English

All parts of society are affected to some extent by the internet and its effects. Alongside innovation and prosperity, this development has also brought new threats and vulnerabilities. Cyber threats are often discussed as a technical problem or as a vulnerability for businesses or vaguely defined military domains. As digitalisation becomes more pervasive, the need for a broader understanding of how it affects society as a whole increases.

In Digitaliseringens baksida - cyberhotets komponenter och konsekvenser (The Dark Side of Digitalisation – Components and Consequences of the Cyber Threat), Björn Weigel takes a comprehensive approach to the cyber threat. The book describes how cybercrime, economic cyber espionage, and political warfare are expanding in step with the advance of digitalisation. Weigel analyses the implications of the cyber threat for liberal democratic society, as well as which measures should be taken to mitigate its consequences.
