Summary/Abstract: Cyber threats are found in all domains, both civil, and military, but their effects are more important for the Air Forces. Cyber threats have dual functions, that is, as expected, they can have negative effects, but, surprisingly, Air Forces could use the negative effects of cyber threats for the support of its own missions. From the cyber security point of view, being aware of its own limitations as well as those of the adversary’s is never completed, but it represents one of the elements that can bring about the success for the Air Forces mission, whichever that may be: defending its own capabilities or attacking the enemy. The only certainty within this process is the increase in future influence over the Air Force actions.
