Email this article The Military Dimension of Cybersecurity
Abstract
The development of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, and the widespread use of ICT systems by various entities, including those responsible for ensuring military security, require particular attention to cybersecurity issues. Cybersecurity occupies a prominent place in the military sphere, which is reflected, among others, in the establishment of dedicated structures. Defence against threats emerging in cyberspace, constituting an operational domain, is also an issue dealt with by cyber military units. This article aims to analyse the military aspects of cybersecurity. It argues that cybersecurity in the military dimension is very important for defence. This is particularly true in a modern, digitised state, which must not only incur public expenses to ensure sufficient protection of the ICT systems used in this sphere but also invest in the digital skills and competencies of personnel responsible for operating these systems. Given the need to identify the status of research on the military dimension of cybersecurity, the literature on the subject was analysed. By applying the doctrinal legal research method, the normative aspects of cybersecurity were identified. In addition, both analytical and synthetic methods were applied.
