The question concerns the shape of cyber defence - including whether cyber defence should be linked to psychological defence, made into its own defence branch, and whether the government should investigate special requisition legislation for the cyber domain - or whether the current approach, in which the armed forces already have the capability for both defensive and offensive cyber operations within the existing structure, should remain unchanged.
