Summary/Abstract: Discussions on the importance of the virtual environment for us, individuals,private companies, or for states or international organizations are superfluous.The presence ofvirtual reality in the daily life of humanity has already become a certainty. As a result, states havehad to rethink their national strategies, allocate additional funds and revise their policies by takinginto account this true leitmotiv of 21st century – the cyberspace.On a military level, what a few years ago seemed utopian now it is as plausible as it may benecessary: the emergence of a new category of forces in the composition of any modern army - thecyber forces. Thus, I consider that a detailed analysis of the actions in the virtual environment fromthe perspective of the types of cyber operations, their planning and deployment, the management ofthe targets in such actions, and the importance of the human being in the context is a natural step inthe attempt to understand the whole phenomenon.
