āCyberspaceā is the environment in which communication over computer networks occurs. Military cyberspace operations create effects that support missions in both physical and digital domains, including:
Offensive Cyberspace Operations are intended to project power by the application of force in and through cyberspace. These operations are authorised like operations in the physical domains.
Defensive Cyberspace Operations are intended to defend military and other friendly cyberspace. Defense operations are both active and passive, conducted inside and outside of military information networks.
