In brief

Broad area of activity
Defence networks and weapon systems, and cyberspace as a domain of collection and operations; no territory and no infrastructure is authored.
Notable history
The component describes its work in one sentence: "We monitor the cyber security of the networks and weapon systems used by Defence, gather information for the military intelligence service GISS, and conduct operations in cyberspace." Its four published tasks add a contribution to national cyber resilience. The page does not say when the force was created or how it is organised, so this record carries the remit and nothing else; the collection task for the intelligence service is the structural detail that distinguishes it from a purely defensive network-security organisation.
Strengths
A published mandate that spans defence, intelligence collection and operations in cyberspace, in the state that hosts the alliance's two headquarters and therefore its most-targeted networks.
Limitations
No creation date, structure, seat or capacity is published, and this record infers none. The relationship to the alliance's cyber structures is not stated on the page fetched.
