About

In this talk I try to explain the importance of cyber capabilities and effects to the military and to draw the distinction with cyber-warfare as often characterised by the media. The distinction raises the question of the role of the military in National Cyber Security, and the increasing requirement for non-traditional capabilities – and the need for a co-ordinated multi-department approach to national security.
