ADOPTING A STRATEGY OF URGENCY TO ACHIEVE CYBER RESILIENCE

Abstract

Cyberspace has emerged as a distinct arena of power contestation. It is increasingly being viewed as a potent instrument capable of advancing "in" and "cross" domain interests of nation-states. National cyber drives by the contemporaries as well as the overt militarisation of this domain have also been covered to reflect the strategic priority of countries while hinting at the potential of cyber threat which exists during peace and war. The paper also presents the national cyber environment which cuts across the civil as well as defence sectors primarily relying upon public indicators and statistics. Like the physical/ traditional spaces of warfighting, cyberspace has also been visualised as a constituent of critical and vital space/ assets falling in corresponding threat zones. Finally, the author suggests quitting the policy of laissez-faire by proposing a framework to overcome existing gaps/ challenges and achieve cyber resilience.
