However, not all states have understood in the same way the impact that the use of network technology can have on military strategic plans. China, as a revisionist power, has perfectly understood that achieving information dominance is crucial to its international interests.

Currently, due to the technological development that the world has experienced, cyber threats represent one of the greatest risks faced by private companies, citizens and States – in the latter case, without distinction of their economic, international or political importance.

In this focus we will try to observe the impact that cyber threats may have on Morocco, the vision of the Alawite regime on cybersecurity and cyber defense, and based on this, analyze whether our neighbor has the necessary capacity in cyberspace to pose a threat. relevant to our country.

Russia in cyberspace

11/11/2021

Russia's activities in cyberspace are a hot topic. The benefit that the Eurasian giant obtains from the fifth domain as part of its Information Warfare campaigns is difficult to measure and, however, the persistence with which it acts and the importance it gives to its operations are clear indicators of its profitability. In recent years, the Eurasian country has achieved well-known milestones, without ceasing to officially rely on plausible deniability, thus trying to avoid an unprofitable escalation. Throughout the next lines we are going to try to explain in detail what Russia is looking for in cyberspace, what actors are involved and what is its conception of operations in this vital domain.

01/10/2021

Like any other domain that can be used for military purposes, two types of positioning can be taken in cyberspace: offensive and deterrence.

Over the next few weeks we will try to offer a review and explanation of the main deterrent measures that can be put into practice in cyberspace and their usefulness.

The security of the cyber domain in Spain

24/06/2021

The technological development that human beings have been able to experience throughout history has generally been linked to the search for military superiority over their enemies. And just as the development of navigation, aviation or space conquest translated into the opening of new “domains”[1] and spheres of influence in the method of war, today cybernetic technological development has given gives rise to the emergence of a new one: the cyber domain.
