On Cyber Warfare

Paul Cornish, David Livingstone, Dave Clemente and Claire Yorke Cyber warfare is arguably at the most serious end of the spectrum of security challenges posed by - and within - cyber space. Both governments and industry struggle to keep up with threats in a domain where threats are assymetric in nature and evolve at unprecedented speed. This report places cyber warfare in the context of national strategy, in order to identify its essential characteristics as a strategic security phenomenon, and argues for significantly increased political engagement with the challenges it poses, in order to create a more balanced and stable environment. Cyber warfare should be constrained and validated by politics, ethics, norms and values, otherwise the debate can be unbalanced in favour of military and technological responses to emerging threats.
