Modeling cyberattack deterrence on nuclear deterrence fails
- jballanc 17y agoWhat's really interesting about this is that, since cyber-attacks aren't as openly destructive or nearly as effective as nuclear weapons, they are actually more dangerous and threatening in practice!
- count 17y agoI think modeling it on the old 'black ops' intel/counter-intel activities is the right strategy. Sometimes, it's only a few people (or an individual), but the effect can be tremendous (see: Russian oil pipeline explosion). I think much of the senior military leadership 'gets' it to the extent that they know to be worried. The middle management, however, ignores threats that are non-kinetic in most cases. Great article!
