Abstract

Cyber attacks are escalating in frequency, impact, and sophistication. For this reason, it is crucial to identify and define regulations for state behavior and strategies to deploy countering measures that would avoid escalation and disproportionate use of cyber means, while protecting and fostering the stability of our societies. To this end, strategies to deter cyber attacks and norms regulating state behavior in cyberspace are both necessary; unfortunately neither is available at the moment. In this chapter, I offer a theory of cyber deterrence and a set of policy recommendations to fill this vacuum.
