Cyber is an element in all crisis and wars
Evolution – not revolution
Cybersabotage has begun to emerge in conflicts

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Russians (and others) are testing the boundaries of the cyberbattlefield.

Russia has a wide range of tools and resources, including the ability to carry out denial-of-service attacks, develop sophisticated malware and exploit previously unknown software vulnerabilities.
Russian cyber activities are focused mainly on intelligence gathering and military reconnaissance of critical infrastructure networks as advance work for a future conflict.”
Most worryingly, today’s intelligence operations enable tomorrow’s military actions.

according to new details from an extensive
investigation into the hack, they were
skilled and stealthy strategists who
carefully planned their assault over many
months, first doing reconnaissance to
study the networks and siphon operator
credentials, then launching a synchronized
assault in a well
Coordinated December 2015 attack on the Ukrainian electrical grid was clearly an attack on critical national infrastructure.
Motive?- Testing and research- Creating deterrence (send a public message)- Revenge (power outage earlier in Crimea)

Digital security integral part of today´s security:Dependence increases and
More sophisticated capabilities being developed.
The speed of cyber attacks and their sophistication has changed dramatically.

“Russia and China are the most sophisticated nation-state actors in the new generation of cyberwarfare, and Russian hackers lead in terms of sophistication, programming power and inventiveness.”

States consider cyber capabilities as an integral part of operational military capability and are not afraid to
employ them.
How to integrate cyber capabilities to other capabilities

Talented Individuals – Who will have and educate them in constantly changing security?

Most valuable skills for cybersecurity career in next years might not be a focus in
specific technology, but ability to understand big picture.

From Technology- and Control-centric to
Humancentric Cybersecurity
Future cyberwarfare is less hacking power grids and more "hacking minds" by
shaping environment in which political reality takes place.

Trend:The world is moving towards a greater strategic use of cyber
capabilities to persuade adversaries to
change their behavior.

Beginning – End
Our side – Their side
Military – Civilian
Involved – Not-involved
Win – Lose
Violence – Non-violence
Dichotomies are blurring
SECURITY INSECURITY
The lines between cyber activists, criminals and state-paid hackers are becoming increasingly blurred.

1) Defend own networks – improving quality in all member states2) Increase education and training
3) Raise general cyber resilience to new level4) Mindset-change: J6 J3 (plans and operations)
5) Develop situational awareness and information sharing6) Strenghten Alliance´s cyber deterrence
7) Support cyber innovations (defence, intel, offense)8) Combine cyber and physical capabilities and operations
9) Rethink Article 510) Cyberpolitics – to response Russia´s aggressive behavior in cyber domain
