handle is hein.journals/sjjicl4 and id is 1 raw text is: NATO, CYBER DEFENSE, AND INTERNATIONAL LAW David P. Fidler* Richard Pregent** Alex Vandurme* * * INTRODUCTION Cybersecurity threats pose challenges to individuals, corporations, states, and intergovernmental organizations. The emergence of these threats also presents international cooperation on security with difficult tasks. This essay analyzes how cybersecurity threats affect the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which is arguably the most important collective defense alliance in the world.' NATO has responded to the cyber threat in policy and operational terms (Part I), but approaches and shifts in cybersecurity policies create problems for NATO-problems that NATO principles, practices, and politics exacerbate in ways that will force NATO to address cyber threats more aggressively than it has done so far (Part II). Whether NATO can adapt its approach before a major cybersecurity crisis affects the Alliance's ability to carry out its missions effectively remains, at the present time, in doubt. * James Louis Calamaras Professor of Law, Indiana University Maurer School of Law; and Senior Fellow, Indiana University Center on Applied Cybersecurity Research. ** Legal Advisor, NATO Allied Command Counterintelligence. *** Head, Technical Center Engineering, NATO Computer Incident Response Capability. 1 This essay integrates the three panel presentations focused on NATO at the St. John's University School of Law Symposium on Cyberconflict: Threats, Responses, and the Role of Law held April 12, 2013, namely: NATO Cyber Defence: An Operational Perspective (Alex Vandurme), Cyber Operations and Collective Self-Defense (Richard Pregent), and NATO, Cybersecurity, and International Law (David P. Fidler). The analysis and views in this essay are individual perspectives and opinions only and do not represent the official policies or positions of NATO or any NATO member.
