This chapter introduces the core concepts of cyberspace and cyber warfare in detail and serves as a primer for later discussions of the application of deterrence theory to cyberspace and potential mitigating solutions. It defines cyberspace, cyberspace operations, Computer Network Exploitation (CNE), and Computer Network Attack (CNA). It also introduces a variety of characteristics that are unique or particularly pronounced when it comes to cyber weapons, as well as discussing some recent attacks.
