Description
Cyber War Will Not Take Place by Thomas Rid is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of cyber security in modern warfare. Twenty years after the U.S. Air Force declared cyberspace as its fifth domain, Rid questions whether war really has entered this new territory. The author delves into the world of computer espionage and weaponised code, examining the threat vectors of espionage, sabotage, and subversion. He explores key questions about cyber weapons, their impact on violence, and the vulnerability of countries, industries, and individuals to these threats. Rid's rigorous analysis sheds light on the complexities of cyberspace and the challenges of non-violent confrontation in this new domain. Through a mix of technical detail and political analysis, Rid provides a nuanced understanding of the cyber security landscape, helping readers understand the real challenge at hand.
