This study aims to analyze the discourse on cybersecurity in North Korea, examine social effects of the discourse, and figure out the intention of the North Korean power elite, generators of such discourse. To achieve these aims, the study analyzes articles related to cybersecurity published in North Korea’s two major daily newspapers, Rodong Sinmun and Minju Joseon, using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis framework. As a result of the study, it was found that the discourse on cybersecurity in North Korea serves as a ruling strategy to create the elite’s intended cyber reality at the domestic level and to guarantee the tactical use of cyberspace aimed at gaining “attack superiority” at the external level.
