Summary/Abstract: The unprecedented development of technology creates opportunities in all areas of society but at the same time brings challenges and vulnerabilities. At all times, the latest technological innovations have been adapted to the military field, being generally turned into war instruments. Thus, the expansion of IT&C applications in all areas of life so far has inevitably led to the use of cyberspace in all areas of a military nature. This has led to the shaping and development of a new operational environment - the cyberspace. The interdependence of risks and threats in the cyberspace, coupled with the transformations and the unpredictability of the security environment, are major challenges to national security. States will need to equip themselves with a new set of capabilities for cyber, defensive and offensive actions at all levels (strategic, tactical, and operational).
