A special report from with support from


DIGITAL FRONT LINES

The scale and scope of cyber operations in the lead-up to and since Russia’s
February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine have been unparalleled and mark a
new era of hybrid warfare in the digital age. The use of nonmilitary tactics,
particularly cyber and information operations that leverage emerging
technologies against military targets, civilian populations, and critical
infrastructure, to achieve foreign policy and geostrategic goals present myriad
and pressing challenges for the prevention and resolution of conflicts.

Recognizing the need to elevate awareness of cyber operations in armed conflict,
FP Analytics, the independent research division of The FP Group, produced
Digital Front Lines with support from Microsoft. In addition to deepening
understanding of hybrid warfare, Digital Front Lines seeks to identify
opportunities for collaboration across government, industry, and civil society
to mitigate its destructive impacts.

The timely three-part, multi-component, multi-media project includes thematic
issue briefs by FP Analytics that anchor expert commentary from, and interviews
with, luminaries across the public and private sectors. Infographics, including
data visualizations and illustrations, complement compelling analysis to provide
nuanced insights that are relevant to policymakers, practitioners, researchers,
and the wider public interested in international peace and security.

Taken together, Digital Front Lines underscores the need for sustained
communication and coordination across the public and private sectors, including
governments, multilateral institutions, non-governmental organizations, and the
private sector, to adapt to the changing nature of warfare and effectively
respond to the risks emerging from cyber operations.

WELCOME FROM BRAD SMITH, PRESIDENT OF MICROSOFT

GLOBAL THOUGHT LEADERS

Short section intro here. As cyberspace has become the modern domain of human
productivity, it has also become a place of conflict and risk. Cyberattacks
increasingly threaten key infrastructure, and the damage can be catastrophic.
Our essayists explain why a new domain demands new rules to ensure responsible
