Summary/Abstract: In the 21st century, there are many threats and challenges in the world. All this poses a significant threat to states and humanity. Also, new standards need to be developed in light of the growing threats from cyberspace. Worldwide studies and existing facts show that today’s defense mechanisms cannot adequately deal with the created situation – aggressor states very quickly adopt new technologies and use them to the detriment of other countries. That is, they pose a threat to other states. In this case, the main topic of our research is cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure, along with hard power and asymmetric threats. In many cases, it is the main cornerstone of starting a cyber war. There are facts when it is impossible to determine the origin of the cyber-attack, and the issue remains unclear. But there are also numerous examples of almost open cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure. There are confirmed facts from where the cyber-attack was carried out, which is internationally assessed as a cyber war.
