Description
This book examines how cyber conflict could happen--even if no nation desires it. It applies the security dilemma, a long-standing idea in international relations, to cybersecurity. Drawing on a detailed analysis of leaked classified documents and cybersecurity forensic reports, this book shows how nations' methods of defending themselves in other states risk unintentionally threatening other nations and risking escalation.
