Summary/Abstract: The objective of this article is to analyse cyberspace as a warfare environment. The text presents specific forms of action and measures that may be used in cyberspace and become components of modern warfare. As such, they might have a significant impact on warfare and a potential to change its nature, contributing to its hybridisation, although they will not be able to replace conventional means of warfare entirely. Their role will be of utmost importance if they complement conventional measures, and only then will they play a role in determining the balance of power in international relations in the long term.
