Is Cyber Strategy Possible?
Real progress has been made in developing an understanding of how to more effectively employ cyber capabilities to achieve specific strategic objectives
Source: Washington Quarterly
Sorting through cyber strategy starts with a fundamental framing question: does “cyber” provide a new tool (capabilities) for traditional state pursuits, a new domain (sea, air, space), or a new dimension of relations between peace and war? Real progress has been made in developing an understanding of how to more effectively employ cyber capabilities to achieve specific strategic objectives, but there may ultimately be no single comprehensive cyber strategy for statecraft.
