I have been doing some research online to find out when the CF recognized cyber as a realm/domain in which it must operate. I'm making a distinction between measures that DND/CF would take to protect themselves vs. stating that cyber is a new/different battle-space separate and apart from land, sea, air and space. Other than the document below (1) anything else I have found amounts to opinion or suggestion. Given that the GoC recognized the importance of cyber in 2010 (2) I would have thought that the DND/CF would have said something sooner.
Is there something published sooner than 2014?
