The states responses to cyber security challenges have become more visible in recent years. Integrated and comprehensive approaches are being pursued through the adoption of new cyber security strategies, consistent cyber investment pledges and ambitious organisational adaptations. In recent years several states have acknowledged cyberspace as a place of confrontation and an operational domain, along with land, air and sea. NATO took the decision to operationalise cyberspace in 2016. It is now adapting to new security challenges by setting up specialised structures for the planning and execution of cyberspace operations. Doctrinal transformations are taking place in an attempt to facilitate the understanding of the relevance cyberspace has for military operations. Integrating, coordinating and synchronising cyberspace operations, missions and activities with activities in the traditional domains represent significant challenges. The priority of military operations is the accomplishment of the mission, and in order for cyberspace to contribute to this goal, a paradigm shift in military thinking is very much needed.
