Are nuclear arsenals safe from cyber-attack? Could terrorists
launch a nuclear weapon through hacking? Are we standing at the
edge of a major technological challenge to global nuclear order?
These are among the many pressing security questions addressed in
Andrew Futter's ground-breaking study of the cyber threat to
nuclear weapons. Hacking the Bomb provides the first ever
comprehensive assessment of this worrying and little-understood
strategic development, and it explains how myriad new cyber
challenges will impact the way that the world thinks about and
manages the ultimate weapon. The book cuts through the hype
surrounding the cyber phenomenon and provides a framework through
which to understand and proactively address the implications of the
emerging cyber-nuclear nexus. It does this by tracing the cyber
challenge right across the nuclear weapons enterprise, explains the
important differences between types of cyber threats, and unpacks
how cyber capabilities will impact strategic thinking, nuclear
balances, deterrence thinking, and crisis management. The book
makes the case for restraint in the cyber realm when it comes to
nuclear weapons given the considerable risks of commingling weapons
of mass disruption with weapons of mass destruction, and argues
against establishing a dangerous norm of "hacking the bomb." This
timely book provides a starting point for an essential discussion
about the challenges associated with the cyber-nuclear nexus, and
will be of great interest to scholars and students of security
studies as well as defense practitioners and policy makers.
