"Det är inte vi som är måltavla" : En studie av hur IT-attacken som drabbade Coop framställs i den svenska debatten

Galyas, Viktoria January 2021 (has links)
Sweden is one of the world's most digitized countries but falls behind when it comes to ITand cybersecurity. When we are so dependent on digital solutions and security is far behind, it leaves us with a vulnerable society. This thesis studies Coop, a grocery store, in Sweden that was affected by an IT-attack in the summer of 2021. The purpose is to understand how IT- and cybersecurity is described in the debate surrounding the incident. The theoretical framework used in this study is the securitization theory by Buzan et. al. To answer the research question of what type of security problem the IT-attack is described as in the Swedish debate, a discourse analysis is made. The material for this study is both news articles from the four largest nationwide newspapers and press releases from Coop and the Swedish government. The analysis shows that the IT-attack is described as two different kinds of security problems. In the beginning of the crisis, it is described as a problem for companies, but as the discorus evolves it starts to shift to be described as more of a problem for society as a whole. This thesis contribution is to show how the IT-attack that affected Coop is described and formed in the discourse. Henceforth it also shows the complexity of responsibility of ITand cybersecurity issues.
