Abstract
This CSS Cyberdefense Project Report looks at the structure, organization, development, and challenges of reserve forces in military cybersecurity in Estonia, Finland, France, Israel, Switzerland and the US. The study shows that while all countries mentioned are developing cyber units based on their reserve forces, their development remains a work in progress. Furthermore, the use of such forces is contextually dependent and country specific. Meaning, it is difficult for one country to successfully copy the reserve model of another country. Finally, cyber reserves are a feasible way to close the cybersecurity workforce gap for the armed forces. Cyber reserves enable armed forces to create a large pool of experts at low cost and attract experts who would not have applied to active-duty military job.
