Abstract: Cyberwar strategy and tactics today are primitive and ad-hoc, resulting in an ineffective and reactive cyber fighting force. A Cyberwar Playbook is an encoding of knowledge on how to effectively handle a variety of cyberwar situations. It takes a troubleshooting approach and defines the cyber tactics, techniques and procedures one may employ to counter or avert cyber-based attacks. It provides focus and clarity in time of chaos allowing a clear path of response to be chosen.
