Svensk integrering av cyberavskräckning

Sammanfattning: The Cyber-domain is normally viewed as an individual warfighting domain without much interaction with other warfighting domains. Deterrence theories often focus on larger countries without taking in account smaller nations that must use whatever means possible to deter hostile influences. Cross-Domain Deterrence is a universal theory that uses all available methods of deterrence, both military and civilian to explain how deterrence against hostile offensive action works. This paper uses a qualitative text analysis to investigate if the theory of CDD reflects the standing doctrine and focus of cyberwarfare in Sweden. The result concludes that Swedish doctrine and focus reflects the essence of cyberwarfare in CDD to a certain degree. Swedish doctrine describes the core of Cross Domain Deterrence but is lacking in the signalling and education in multi domain deterrence. The standing doctrine and focus are lacking in explanations how to evolve cyber deterrence to interact with other warfighting domains and how to implement international law in cyber-deterrence.
