This is the final episode of a four-part webinar series on capability development for cyberspace operations by the Indian Armed Forces, held under the aegis of Current and Strategic Affairs Forum (CASA) and moderated by Lt Gen (Dr) R S Panwar. The first three episodes surveyed existing cyberspace strategies and organizations; brainstormed the important issue of how to strike the right balance among the charters of major actors involved in defence of national cyberspace, namely, MOD/ armed forces, MEA/ external intelligence agencies, MHA and the private sector; and addressed the important facet of capability development for conducting cyber influence operations (CIO). This episode discusses the differences and overlaps between cyber operations as part of grey zone warfare and those carried out in support of military operations (MDO), and brainstorms as well as makes recommendations for the role of the Armed Forces in cyberspace operations (offensive as well as CIO), providing different perspectives from the three Services of the Indian Armed Forces.
