CASHING IN ON CYBERPOWER

How Interdependent Actors Seek Economic Outcomes in a Digital World

By Mark Peters Over recent centuries, nations struggling for increased power over their neighbours sought mainly symmetric advantages, using clearly defined strategies to crush enemies using military force, coercion, and domination.

In recent years, however, as the world becomes increasingly digitally interconnected, military leaders are ditching such symmetric power plays in favour of cyber strategies. Peters analyses 198 cyber events and 3 case studies, discussing their area of effect, targeting intent, method, and attribution to elucidate the complex narrative of cyber strategy and its influence on economic power outcomes in a solid, understandable approach to cyberspace strategy.
