    1. The United States has historically separated cyber and information security, but American adversaries have traditionally not distinguished between the two. In their view, the confidentiality, integrity, and assurance of computer networks are integral—and in some sense subordinate—to the battle over information spaces, and cyberattacks enabled significant capabilities in information operations. Numerous Russian documents and strategies describe cyber operations as integral to information security. After the creation of U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), at a meeting of Russian and U.S. defense officials, one Russian officer reportedly derided the lack of information warfare in Cyber Command’s mission. General Nikolai Makarov told his counterparts, “One uses information to destroy nations, not networks.”

      A well presented crucial difference between the two paradigms. Yet, this gap is vanishing. In a way, Russians (to the extent they were behind disinformation campaigns) managed to change the US position to accept the same paradigm.

      Could this close-to-common understanding that both networks and information are part of the dialogue change the course of future negotiations, and perhaps even allow for more space for comprimise as everyone discusses the same issues?

    2. The United States can no longer treat cyber and information opera-tions as two separate domains

      Another merging area: information warfare and cyber conflict. For long, the US has been pushing back strongly not to bring discussions about content into cybersecurity discussions. It was the main difference between the US and Russia/China in understanding the scope. As content becomes weapon in full sense, this won't be possible any more. Likely, US will bring the two together in discussions with like-minded partners, but not (yet) in global negotiations where their 'adversaries' are present.

      'Social networks have also been the scene of disinformation campaigns. A fine balance remains to be found between, on the one hand, disinformation, hate speech, conspiracy theories and, on the other hand, respect for fundamental freedoms. We must also look at the environmental impact of these new technologies, which consume a lot of energy.'
