Competing interests of cyberintelligence and cyberdefence activities in neutral countries

Abstract:
Intelligence agencies and defence forces usually work hand in hand in order to support the interests of a state. In cyberspace, however, their activities overlap and their goals may differ or even oppose one another. This paper outlines the potentially diverging interests of intelligence agencies and defence forces of the same state. The conceptualisation is supplemented by a case study of Switzerland’s intelligence and defence organisation and a reflection on its particularities as a neutral country. The paper concludes by suggesting an organisational structure that avoids a conflict of interests between cybersecurity organisations of the same state.
