Over the course of the last year, more and more information has trickled into the public domain as to how NATO’s Cyberspace Operations Center (CyOC) is supposed to function in practice and how the alliance envisions to leverage the center in the future. However, the question as to how an adversary might exploit the CyOC setup, for the sole purpose of creating friction within the alliance, has not been widely explored in public. In this article, CSS senior researcher Stefan Soesanto explores how the CyOC will support the alliance, as well as how adversaries could potentially use it to wreak chaos.
