“…Carl von Clausewitz's extensive work On war is commonly seen as the most essential book on warfare in the Western world [15]. Therefore, it is not that surprising several scholars have applied Clausewitz's principles to cyberwar, although the book was written back in 1832 [13,18,6,32]. Many argue that cyberwar is coming [7,30], while other academics are skeptical or deny the whole existence of cyberwar [32,14].…”

This study argues that the fundamental tenets Carl von Clausewitz presented about warfare in his influential book On War can be applied to defensive cyberwar. This will help in forming a new multidisciplinary perspective on the topic, which can benefit policy makers, political and military scientists and cyber security specialists alike. Moreover, by applying Clausewitz's principles of defensive warfare and his concepts of uncertainty and friction to cyberdefense, we outline a conceptual framework for resilient and proactive cyberdefense.

Today it would be difficult to define peace, as we witness that wars have many forms and aspects different from armed conflicts. Many modern wars, even if their actors do not want to call them that, are conflicts at other, even invisible or not totally discovered spheres (cyberspace, outer space, trade markets, etc.) with sophisticated, nonviolent (at classic meaning) methods. Hybrid war is from sociological, psychological, and security aspects, a totally different and complex form of violence and battle. The Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2014 is seen as a tipping point for more attention on hybrid wars and defense. Understanding, good concept of hybrid wars, and prepared defense explained how some of most powerful armies in the world loosed their battles against much weaker enemies. Still, distraction of hybrid threats requires deep understanding of mass and personal psychology, media, and culture.
