Defensive Cyber Operations

Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) refer to measures taken by governments or organizations to protect their computer systems and networks from cyber threats, such as hacking or malware attacks. In the context of cyber warfare, DCO includes monitoring for intrusions, defending against attacks in real-time, and repairing any damage done by cyber aggressors. The main goal is to safeguard sensitive information, ensure the reliability of critical services, and maintain operational capabilities, thereby reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing overall cybersecurity resilience in the face of potential hostile actions.
