Countries around the world are developing and implementing cyber strategies designed to impact an enemy's command and control structure, logistics, transportation, early warning and other critical, military functions. In addition, nations are increasingly aware that the use of cyber strategies can be a major force multiplier and equaliser. Smaller countries that could never compete in a conventional military sense with their larger neighbours can develop a capability that gives them a strategic advantage, if properly utilised.
Not surprisingly, therefore, countries that are not as dependent on high technology within their military establishment consider such dependence a potential "Achilles heel" for their enemies.
