Cyberspace is the conceptual domain where cyber defense activities take place, therefore it is vitally important to have a clear and precise idea of its nature and particularities. According to the Oxford dictionary, cyberspace is the notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs This definition fits the implicit meaning of this guide. 003. Cyberspace is a concept, idea, or notion it is not a material, physical, visible or tangible space. Since cyberspace is a notion, then no physical or tangible components, such as IT infrastructure, hardware or people, are an intrinsic part of it. Non-tangible components such as information, software or electric power are also not intrinsically part of it. 004. The notion of cyberspace is materialized through the interrelation of specific components (IT infrastructure, software, information, transportation, electric power and people) providing it with vitality. 005. Cyberspace, the components and their relationships makeup the cyber ecosystem (para. 524). In practice, the term cyberspace is used to include the components and their relationships, assimilating it to the term cyber ecosystem. Usually, cyberspace is identified with the IT infrastructure (computers, servers, wiring, IT devices and hardware, which would seem to make it more understandable but this cyber-IT identification carries the great danger of digressing from the true purpose of cyber defense. 007. This cyber-IT misperception is a source of conflict between cyber defense units, in charge of planning and conducting military operations in the cyberspace domain of operations, and CIS or Signal units, in charge of providing cross- domain telecommunications service to all domain of operations. 008. Information is not an intrinsic part of cyberspace, but cyberspace is an ideal environment to manage it (create, present, process, store, transport, share, and delete. Cyberspace, however, is not the only environment where information can be tackled. 009. People, individually or in organized groups, are not intrinsic part of cyberspace, just as they are not part of any other domain (land, air and sea. People create and modify cyberspace they perform activities, functions and operations in cyberspace, but they are not part of cyberspace. 010. Finally, two components that keep cyberspace alive are important to mention software and electric power. These are the two basic components to maintain cyberspace’s vital signs. Download 2.54 Mb.
