Cyberdeterrance and Cyber War
By Martin C. Libicki
“As systems become more hardened, societies become less
vulnerable and are likely to become more, rather than less, resistant to
further coercion”. With this, do you think there will be a day that cyber
attacks will be non-existent? If the system is that robust, will we rely on it
even further in the future?
As Professor Hopkins stated in class, a lot of our lives
revolve around the Internet; bank accounts, personal documents, confidential
information. As the passage suggests, we have by no means established a
completely secure system. What would happen to society if, instead of terrorist
attacks, there were a cyber attack that targeted the public’s, say, bank
accounts and confidential information?
Ethically, what is your view on cyber war? How does it compare
to war involving citizens, risking their lives? Will cyber war replace
human-defensive tactics?
