Max Smeets on Why States Struggle to Develop a Military Cyber-Force
\u201cCyberspace is the domain of modern warfare\u201d is a popular headline in recent times. Recent state and non-state cyber attacks have given support to this notion, but beyond vague national cyber strategies and new cyber commands, not much is publicly known about a state\u2019s military cyber capacity.
To get a better understanding of the current state of militarization in cyberspace, Lawfare fellow in cybersecurity law Alvaro Mara\xf1on sat down with Max Smeets, senior researcher at the Center for Security Studies at ETH Zurich and the director of the European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative. They explored Max\u2019s new book, \u201cNo Shortcuts: Why States Struggle to Develop a Military Cyber-Force.\u201d They also discussed the barriers of entry for states to participate in cyber conflict, how we should go about thinking about military cyber capacity, and how external actors can influence a state\u2019s cyber capability development process.
