Why do nations break into one another's most important computer
networks? There is an obvious answer: to steal valuable information
or to attack. But this isn't the full story. This book draws on
often-overlooked documents leaked by Edward Snowden, real-world
case studies of cyber operations, and policymaker perspectives to
show that intruding into other countries' networks has enormous
defensive value as well. Two nations, neither of which seeks to
harm the other but neither of which trusts the other, will often
find it prudent to launch intrusions. This general problem, in
which a nation's means of securing itself threatens the security of
others and risks escalating tension, is a bedrock concept in
international relations and is called the 'security dilemma'. This
book shows not only that the security dilemma applies to cyber
operations, but also that the particular characteristics of the
digital domain mean that the effects are deeply pronounced. The
cybersecurity dilemma is both a vital concern of modern statecraft
and a means of accessibly understanding the essential components of
cyber operations.
