Análisis del ciberataque para la seguridad de los estados y su incidencia en la transformación del status quo: Stuxnet el virus informático

Abstract

The following investigation performs an insight of the Virus Stuxnet and its implications on security that follow with its use, as a means to alter or change the power relations between states. This is done using the theory of Structural Realism from Kenneth Waltz, which talks about the dynamics inside the international system and its constraints that are subject to it. States are interested primarily in their safety with the porpoise of survival and that may direct the rest of its interests upon actions to sustain it and lower the risk or threat. The Ciberattack of Stuxnet responds to this theory as a means by Israel to impair the nuclear capabilities of Iran, and reduce its role on the power relations both in the region and in the international atmosphere, as well contribute to its own survival dependent in the field of security
