Cyberspace control167.
The control of the spaces of influence in combat in traditional domains (land, sea and air) is one of the fundamental requirements to gain the necessary freedom of action and avoid interference from adversaries. In the cyberspace domain of operations, this need cyberspace control) is equally necessary.
168.
Cyberspace control is the degree of dominance of the confrontational cyberspace of one cyber force over an opposing cyber force.
169.
There are 5 levels of cyberspace control cyber supremacy,
cyber superiority, cyber parity,
cyber denial, cyber incapability.
170.
Level 1 (cyber supremacy) is reached when there is complete control of the confrontational cyberspace. Adversary cyber forces are powerless to conduct any effective interference. Its own freedom of action is unmitigated while the opponent’s is minimal.
171.
Level 2 (cyber superiority) is reached when there is a more favorable position over the opponent in the confrontational cyberspace. The freedom of its own action is greater than the opponent’s.
172.
Level 3 (cyber parity) is reached when there is exclusive control over its own networks and systems. The two cyber forces have similar freedom of action and capability to interfere in each other’s area.
173.
At
level 4 (cyber denial), the opponent is in a more favorable position in confrontational cyberspace. Its own cyber force can continue to operate, but improperly. Its own freedom of action is less than the opponent’s.
174.
At
level 5 (cyber incapability), the opponent has complete control of the confrontational cyberspace. Opposing cyber forces can fully interfere. Its own freedom of action is minimal while the adversary’s is total.
175.
To reach level 1 and 2, it is necessary to have
defensive and offensive capabilities. With defensive capabilities exclusively (activity
in its own networks, a cyber force can only aspire to level 3 (cyber parity) if also, the opposing cyber force does not have offensive capabilities. Otherwise it can only aspire to level 4 or 5.
