The rapid development of technology and hence also the cybernetic sphere, including the associated difficulties in defining it, as well as the occurrences within it and the lack of upholding legal regulations and too little awareness in public and private life as to the dangers it may generate, make it serve as a basis for the development of advanced and difficult to neutralize threats that are able to affect the real world. The most important in the context of the text are cyber attacks and cyberwar. Due to the impact that the virtual world can have on reality, organizations such as NATO must finally adapt to changes taking place in the real world. The aim of the text is to take a look at an possibility of invoking the famous article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty by a member state of NATO.
Keywords: cyberspace, cyberwar, cyber attack, cyberconflict, NATO, article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
