Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with cyber threats and their implications for the Czech Ministry of Defence and the Czech Armed Forces. System causes of cyber threats, trends and the concept of cyberspace as a new war fighting domain are discussed. NATO, EU and the Czech Republic's strategic documents dealing with cyber threats and strategies are analysed from the point of view of required capabilities within the framework of roles and responsibilities of bodies dealing with cyber security and cyber defense. Required capabilities are deducted from the tasks specified from legislation, implied from NATO and EU membership, and from created strategic and operational scenarios. Based on comparison of required capabilities and current state, the paper proposes solutions for the future. The proposed solutions enable harmonization of defence in cyberspace with the defence of the Czech Republic, ensure defence of cyberspace and integrate cyber capabilities into joint conduct of operations.
