Cyber weapons and the possibility of cyber conflict-including
interference in foreign political campaigns, industrial sabotage,
attacks on infrastructure, and combined military campaigns-require
policymakers, scholars, and citizens to rethink
twenty-first-century warfare. Yet because cyber capabilities are so
new and continually developing, there is little agreement about how
they will be deployed, how effective they can be, and how they can
be managed. Written by leading scholars, the fourteen case studies
in this volume will help policymakers, scholars, and students make
sense of contemporary cyber conflict through historical analogies
to past military-technological problems. The chapters are divided
into three groups. The first-What Are Cyber Weapons Like?-examines
the characteristics of cyber capabilities and how their use for
intelligence gathering, signaling, and precision striking compares
with earlier technologies for such missions. The second
section-What Might Cyber Wars Be Like?-explores how lessons from
several wars since the early nineteenth century, including the
World Wars, could apply-or not-to cyber conflict in the
twenty-first century. The final section-What Is Preventing and/or
Managing Cyber Conflict Like?-offers lessons from past cases of
managing threatening actors and technologies.
