Summary/Abstract: In this research paper, the author focuses on some terms that are extremely used in the current international security debate and were intensely used in the discussions regarding NATO’s New Strategic Concept: cyber space, cyber threats, cyber attacks, cyber terrorism and cyber weapons. First, the author defines the types of cyber attacks, as well as the concepts of cyber warfare and cyber power. Then, he writes about the number of challenges presented by the use of cyber power. In the end, he draws attention to the implications of cyber war for NATO, pointing out that the Alliance needs to develop a clear doctrine of cyber power, addressing issues of offensive use, defence, response and deterrence.
