The world is becoming ever more digitalised and networked, which is one of the manifold aspects of globalisation. Cyberspace penetrates at an impressive rate societies and societal practices, including the production of security. Digital infrastructure is or controls the backbone of contemporary Western societies. Even the production of national security depends on it, albeit majority of actors operating in the field of cyber security are not governmental but private companies. Security, again, is closely intertwined with trust. They reinforce one another. The alarming piece of news hence is that people increasingly do not trust on the functions of digital infrastructure and that cyberspace can be secured. Traditionally, the production of security has been the main task of the state, but who should be responsible for safeguarding cyberspace? And, above all, whose responsibility it is to build and maintain trust in and on it?
