ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cyberspace is expanding at a rapid pace and extends its reach into the functioning of society. The pervasive nature of cyberthreats poses a significant security challenge to governments, businesses, organisations, and individual users. The contribution this study makes to the field of cybersecurity lies in its methodological approach to focusing on South African military officers, which is a hitherto under-researched subject in the South African domain. This study locates itself within the securitisation theory, which suggests that the military is a key tool in orchestrating a “security move”. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die kuberruimte brei teen ’n snelle pas uit en die invloed daarvan het die funksionering van die samelewing bereik. Die verreikende aard van kuberbedreigings verteenwoordig ’n betekenisvolle sekuriteitsuitdaging vir regerings, sakeondernemings, organisasies, en individuele gebruikers. Die bydrae wat hierdie studie tot die veld van kubersekuriteit maak berus in die metodiese benadering tot die fokuspunt van Suid-Afrikaanse offisiere in die militêre magte; ’n onderwerp waaroor dusver min navorsing in die Suid-Afrikaanse domein onderneem is. Hierdie studie is gelokaliseer in die teorie vir sekuritering, wat aan die hand doen dat die militêre magte ’n sleutelrol speel in die meebring van ’n “sekuriteitsbeweging”. added the departments name according to the research study as it is impossible to track the students department registration, where as the supervisor is from Human Resource Department, Department of Mercantile and Public Law. pt-2025-08-27 Doctoral 2023-02-21T15:33:21Z 2023-05-18T06:58:43Z 2023-02-21T15:33:21Z 2023-05-18T06:58:43Z 2023-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/126983 en_ZA 450 pages : illustrations application/pdf Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University |
