Samenvatting

The authors concentrate on the cooperation of organisations - from government and the market sector - to address cyber threats. They discern three network action models that respectively deal with organisations' routine wrestling to fight every day's attacks on digital systems, a possible disruption of critical infrastructure and a major security threat such as the destruction or stealing of military technology. The military plays its role in all of these action modes but its role in the last action mode is most articulated. The network's response can be too passive or - quite the opposite - too ambitious, authoritarian and symplifying.
