In 2011, the United States government declared a cyber attack as
equal to an act of war, punishable with conventional military
means. Cyber operations, cyber crime, and other forms of cyber
activities directed by one state against another are now considered
part of the normal relations range of combat and conflict, and the
rising fear of cyber conflict has brought about a reorientation of
military affairs. What is the reality of this threat? Is it actual
or inflated, fear or fact-based? Taking a bold stand against the
mainstream wisdom, Valeriano and Maness argue that there is very
little evidence that cyber war is, or is likely to become, a
serious threat. Their claim is empirically grounded, involving a
careful analysis of cyber incidents and disputes experienced by
international states since 2001, and an examination of the
processes leading to cyber conflict. As the authors convincingly
show, cyber incidents are a little-used tactic, with low-level
intensity and few to no long-term effects. As well, cyber incidents
are motivated by the same dynamics that prompt regional conflicts.
Based on this evidence, Valeriano and Maness lay out a set of
policy recommendations for proper defense against cyber threats
that is built on restraint and regionalism.
