Abstract
This paper aims to develop a preliminary hypothesis for the South Asian region to identify the relationship between technology and national security. The paper studies the evolving trends of technology that have changed the security paradigm. To manage the security risk in a complex and dynamic digital environment, a new set of strategy and thinking is needed both in Pakistan and India to complement the traditional security approaches. Cybernetics realism is the proposed theoretical model for national security in South Asia in the age of cyber technology. The paper is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the theoretical framework of this evolving security paradigm, which examines the working mechanism of cybernetics realism in South Asia as a strategic power. The second section discusses the challenges of the new security paradigm to Pakistan and India and their policies to counter these challenges. The third section tests the proposed hypothesis, i.e., whether cyberspace is evolving as a security paradigm in South Asia. The paper ends with a conclusion and some recommendations.
