摘要

Since the establishment of Cyberspace as a NATO warfighting domain, an endorsement taken by NATO Allies at the Warsaw Summit in 2016 (North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Warsaw summit key decisions. Fact-sheet. https://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/pdf_2017_02/20170206_1702-factsheet-warsaw-summit-key-en.pdf , 2017 [1]), NATO has seen a rapid buildup of requirements relating to key Cyberspace capabilities such as Situational Awareness and Command and Control (C2) for the new operational domain. In addition, NATO, in its 2030 Agenda (North Atlantic Treaty Organization in NATO 2030. Factsheet. https://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/2021/6/pdf/2106-factsheet-nato2030-en.pdf , 2023 [2]), has identified an ambitious set of proposals, which bring implications and growing need for the bolstering of NATO Cyber defences and delivery of NATO Cyber Security services. This brings continuous demand for Cyber-related expertise and foreshadows the reality that NATO in-house capacity is significantly outweighed by the demand. NATO must rely now, more than ever before, on industry partnerships to help deploy and deliver Cyberspace capabilities, including the strengthening of Cyber Security services, to meet the demand of NATO stakeholders. NATO, as a defensive, consensus driven body comprised of 32 Nations, is not alone in this paradigm where Cyber demand outweighs available capacity.
