  The growing demand for computer security and the cyberization trend are
hallmarks of the 21st century. The rise in cyber-crime, digital currency,
e-governance, and more, is well met by a corresponding recent jump in
investment in new technology for securing computers around the globe. Recently,
business and government sectors have begun to focus efforts on comprehensive
cyber security solutions. With this growth has emerged the need for greater
methods of collabo-ration and measurement of security. Despite all these
efforts, this need has not been met, and there is still too little
cross-disciplinary collaboration in the realm of computer security. This paper
reviews the new trends in cyber security research, their contributions, and
some identifiable limitations. We argue that these limitations are due largely
to the absence of co-operation required to address a problem that is clearly
multifaceted. We then identify a need for further standardization of
terminology in computer security and propose guidelines for the global Internet
multistakeholder community to consider when crafting such standards. We also
assess the viability of some specific terms, including whether cyber should be
used as a separate word when it is a descriptor (e.g. cyber security or
cybersecurity), and conclude with recommendations for writing future papers on
cyber security or the broader new field of all things relating to cyberspace,
which has recently been dubbed Cybermatics, a term we also examine and propose
alternatives to, like Cyber or Cybernomics. By furthering the effort of
standardizing cyber security terminology, this paper lays groundwork for
cross-disciplinary collaboration, agreement between technical and nontechnical
stakeholders, and the drafting of universal Internet governance laws.
