Brent Scowcroft Center Assistant Director Klara Tothova Jordan writes for the National Interest on the new plan NATO will present for improving cyberdefense: The policy endorsed by NATO leaders will include the principle that a cyberattack can constitute an armed attack within the meaning of NATO’s Article 5, thus triggering its members’ obligations of collective defense. Certain NATO countries have pressed the Alliance to adopt and publicly acknowledge this principle to allay their fears arising from past cyberevents and recent geopolitical developments involving actors with malicious cybertools in their arsenals. The value of NATO’s acknowledgement of this principle is undeniable; it represents a statement of solidarity, deterrence and assurance long overdue.
