Cyberattacks are one of the greatest fears for governments and the
private sector. The attacks come without warning and can be
extremely costly and embarrassing. Robert Mandel offers a unique
and comprehensive strategic vision for how governments, in
partnership with the private sector, can deter cyberattacks from
both nonstate and state actors. Cyberdeterrence must be different
from conventional military or nuclear deterrence, which are mainly
based on dissuading an attack by forcing the aggressor to face
unacceptable costs. In the cyber realm, where attributing a
specific attack to a specific actor is extremely difficult,
conventional deterrence principles are not enough. Mandel argues
that cyberdeterrence must alter a potential attacker's decision
calculus by not only raising costs for the attacker but also by
limiting the prospects for gain. Cyberdeterrence must also involve
indirect unorthodox restraints, such as exposure to negative
blowback and deceptive diversionary measures, and cross-domain
measures rather than just retaliation in kind. The book includes
twelve twenty-first-century cyberattack case studies to draw
insights into cyberdeterrence and determine the conditions under
which it works most effectively. Mandel concludes by making
recommendations for implementing cyberdeterrence and integrating it
into broader national security policy. Cyber policy practitioners
and scholars will gain valuable and current knowledge from this
excellent study.
