Abstract

Can deterrence be effectively executed in cyberspace. Ultimately, some aspects of deterrence as we understand it can be effective in cyberspace, but cyberspace is so unique and complex that we must broaden our knowledge of deterrence and qualify its application to have any strategic effect there. This paper will examine the concept of deterrence theory, reflect on the environment that has enabled nuclear deterrence, describe the cyberspace environment, contrast the two environments, discuss current deterrence policies, and make recommendations regarding the applicability of deterrence in cyberspace.
