Dominating Networks in Cyberspace

Recognized as an equal to the air, land, sea and space domains, US military operators must gain dominance over cyberspace, in order to maintain its superior edge in military operations throughout the world. Cyberspace "dominance" over computer networks can be achieved, but only in providing support for freedom of action to friendly forces, within the other domains. Doctrine played an important role in defining the fundamental idea of cyber dominance. In addition, an extensive literature review of books, reports and recent articles from the Internet security sites provided the background on cyber threats in the world and the laws that governed military operations in cyberspace. The paper culminates in applying this information in a scenario of a cyber attack from China on the US. It shows the effects a network attack could have and proves how cyber dominance can be achieved.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
