Description
Though we heard that “Cyberwar is coming!” as long ago as in 1993, scientists and tech experts were divided. Some of them firmly believed that the scenarios of sci-fi movies were soon to come true, others remained sceptical. As of 2023, with the world deeply dependent on various digital technologies, the cyberspace considered by NATO as another battlespace, and over a year after the attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, it has become apparent that the world has witnessed the first-ever true hybrid war. In an unprecedented manner, the attacker has combined “traditional”, conventional military strategy with digital warfare. This paper discusses a number of the “first-evers” and challenges related to the technology and cyberspace observed before or during the war in Ukraine, the lessons learnt so far, and what it means for software engineers, cybersecurity experts and other IT specialists.

How to Navigate the Uncharted Waters of Cyberwar
Though we heard that “Cyberwar is coming!” as long ago as in 1993, scientists and tech experts were divided. Some of them firmly believed that the scenarios of sci-fi movies were soon to come true, others remained sceptical. As of 2023, with the world deeply dependent on various digital technologies, the cyberspace considered by NATO as another battlespace, and over a year after the attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, it has become apparent that the world has witnessed the first-ever true hybrid war. In an unprecedented manner, the attacker has combined “traditional”, conventional military strategy with digital warfare. This paper discusses a number of the “first-evers” and challenges related to the technology and cyberspace observed before or during the war in Ukraine, the lessons learnt so far, and what it means for software engineers, cybersecurity experts and other IT specialists.
