Cyber Security: A Peer-Reviewed Journal, 2017, vol. 1, issue 1, 48-60

Abstract: NATO has made significant progress over the past decade incorporating cyber defense principles into its political and military processes. Its recognition of cyberspace as a domain of operations in 2016 was a major milestone, but NATO will need to further incorporate cyber into more operational processes, much as the domains of air, land and sea are treated currently. This paper provides a background on how NATO came to the decision of declaring cyber as a domain of operations and some recommendations on how to implement this decision. This implementation work needs to be closely coordinated between the NATO’s political and military experts to ensure a rapid adoption.
