Abstract
Rather than positing a direct link between the supposedly offense dominant character of digital technologies and the risks of instability associated with cyberspace, this contribution highlights the importance of two key variables. On the one hand, the way in which the digital space is configured and, on the other hand, the way in which the actors seize it and integrate it into their logic and strategic capacities. Digital technologies provide incentive for the offensive more than they determine in advance the structure of power relationships.
