Cyber electronic protection (cyber EP) is the passive and/or active means taken to protect electronics and/or access to the electromagnetic spectrum from any effects of friendly or enemy employment of cyber EW that degrades, neutralizes, or destroys ability to store, modify, and/or exchange data via networked systems and associated physical infrastructures.

Cyber electronic warfare support (cyber ES) is any action to search for, intercept, identify, locate, or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic energy radiating from electronics used to store, modify, and/or exchange data via networked systems for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, planning, and/or conduct of future operations."
