This brief paper is a proposal to reframe the sphere of operations / context of a Nation States Cyber Security Operations and Posture. Cyber Security has been traditionally defined and led by cyber security vendors with defined products and services. To this end, it is the author's view that the approaches to effectively manage cyber security at the national/country level, is hampered/ bounded by the artificial constraints expound by the market. This creates a false premise that Cyber Security is something dominated by private companies, and therefore moves the accountability away from the state. This paper argues that this is not true for a Nation States Cyber Territory and that a country’s Cyber Security Strategy is fundamentally tied to that of its Cyber Territory, and by default, a subset of its larger Country Territorial Security obligations.
