Srsly Risky Biz: NATO's Cyber Approach Needs Change
NATO's defensive posture and response framework are optimized for large-scale military attacks but struggle to address persistent, low-level cyberattacks conducted by adversaries like Russia and China below the threshold of armed conflict. These continuous operations, individually below response thresholds, enable state actors to harass and probe NATO members during peacetime without triggering collective defense mechanisms.
Why it matters: NATO members and allied organizations face ongoing Russian and Chinese cyber probing and harassment that falls outside traditional deterrence frameworks; practitioners should recognize that continuous low-level attacks may not trigger formal NATO response despite cumulative operational risk.
