Summary/Abstract: One of NATO responsibilities is represented by the analysis of the current or ongoing threats to member countries. A series of events have revealed that cyber activities can affect both national and transatlantic prosperity, security and stability. In this context, the authors consider that terminology should be defined for unitary semantics within the Alliance. Moreover, a pattern connected to the level of cyber threats should be introduced. This approach will determine an objective assessment of threats and will enable issuing correct political-military decisions. The authors conclude that, given the challenges created by the virtual space, NATO must play a significant role. Therefore, cyber semantics is essential in the light of the initiatives related to diminishing the development of prospective conflicts launched from the cyberspace.
