Hybrid threats are closely related to cyberspace and cannot be omitted in modern warfare and security assessment. Our members, Martin Faix and Petr Stejskal, prepared a  scenario on “Misattribution caused by deception” for the Cyber Law Toolkit project. The project is supported by the NATO Co-operative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (NATO CCDCOE), NÚKIB and the ICRC.

Hybrid threats, information operations and deception are closely related to cyberspace and cannot be omitted in modern warfare and security assessment. Members of the Centre for International Humanitarian and Operational Law, Martin Faix and Petr Stejskal, prepared an expert contribution for the Cyber Law Toolkit operated under the auspices of the NATO CCDCOE, ICRC, NÚKIB, US Nawal War College and several other expert bodies. Their analysis focused on cyber deception in international law. Publication of new scenarios for the Cyber Law Toolkit was announced at the 2021 CyberCon conference in Brno.

​

The Cyber Law Toolkit is an online resource for legal professionals who work with matters at the intersection of international law and cyber operations. At its core, it presently consists of 24 hypothetical scenarios. Each scenario contains a description of cyber incidents inspired by real-world examples, accompanied by detailed legal analysis.

​

The scenario prepared by our members formulates a model scenario of a cyber deception followed by misattribution and cyber attack against critical infrastructure. The topic chosen reflects the increasing sophistication of hostile cyber incidents and raises challenging legal questions.
