Summary/Abstract: Manifold dangers related to cyberspace concern all modern security environment entities, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Due to the fact that they become ever more frequent and complex, NATO is in need of taking specific steps in this field. This paper presents the measures undertaken by the Alliance in response to current cyber threats. The main goal of the research was to identify those activities that have contributed to the development of NATO’s capabilities concerning cyber threats. The article uses the method of critical analysis (literature on the subject, scientific articles, documents, reports, press materials) and the historical method. The main research question is: what actions taken so far by the North Atlantic Alliance have contributed to extending its cyber threats capabilities? The thesis advanced in the article says that the North Atlantic Alliance’s activities in this matter have impacted the development and the strengthening of its ability to defend this area. It should be expected that they will be the basis for the Alliance’s further activity which will include not only defense policies, but also other proactive activities in terms of contributing to the improvement of cyber security of all its members.
