While there is no internationally accepted definition of cyberspace, numerous definitions exist, which illustrate the difficulty in defining the term. The US Department of Defence (DoD) defines cyberspace as: “a global domain consisting of the  interdependent networks of information technology infrastructures and resident data, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers”* The concept of cyberspace is generally regarded as less encompassing than the concept of information space. *Cyber Operations in DOD Policy and Plans: Issues for Congress http://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R43848.pdf
