What is Cyberwar Anyway? A Conversation with Jeff Carr, Author of Inside Cyber Warfare

Source: Michael Cheek, The New New Internet.

TNNI: You recently authored a book called Inside Cyber Warfare. Tell us a little about the book. What was your motivation for writing it?

Carr: What I tried to do with the book was take a more complex view of the scope of cyber warfare and really even the misnomer of cyber warfare, because there really isn’t any legal definition as such. There is a cyber component to an actual act of war, but in terms of a battle in cyberspace, we have not really seen that and there is no real definition to that. Instead, the book looks at the various ways that state and non-state actors interact in cyberspace, in order to exercise control or to commit crime or do espionage or any number of actions that network systems now enable actors to do.
