Technological advancement has ushered in an era of network-centric warfare where cyberspace plays an instrumental role in military operations. Due to its integral nature to modern militaries, cyberspace offers the ideal platform on which military operators can conduct their missions. Cyber warfare refers to the military doctrines and tactics used by operators in their attempt to gain dominance in the realm of cyberspace. Through the analysis of the offensive and the defensive aspects of cyber warfare, this paper argues that the SAF should invest in cyber-defence rather than cyber-offence. In addition, it suggests that by focusing on cyber-defence, the SAF may not only deter potential military aggressions from state actors but also protect Singapore’s civilianinfrastructure and institutions from non-state entities.
