This, the seventh annual International Conference on Cyber Conflict (CyCon 2015) organised by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, has again been held in the historic city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Over the years the CyCon conferences have proved to be world-recognised forums on advanced methods of modelling cyber conflicts and their strategic, legal and policy implications for society, business and world affairs. Every year, CyCon devotes its attention to a specific aspect of cyber conflict. In 2013, the conference discussed the roles and methods of automated cyber defence: it looked at automation, not only as an enabling technological field that allows for an increase in the effectiveness and sophistication of cyber defensive and offensive actions, but also as a social factor which touches on the political, legal, moral and ethical framework of modern society. In 2014, the conference concentrated on active cyber defence. The focus of CyCon 2015 is on the architectural aspects of cyberspace, from - as is true for all CyCon conferences - information technological, strategic, legal, and policy perspectives.
