About the AFEI December Cyber Series
AFEI is holding two cyber-related events back-to-back in December to address two of the critical aspects of the cyber ecosystem:
Supply Chain Cyber Risk Forum - understanding supply chain risk from cyber vulnerabilities and building trusted/assured sources of supply for defense, homeland security, critical infrastructure and economic well-being; and
Cyber Deterrence Forum - applying deterrence principles to the cyber domain.
AFEI is hosting these in conjunction with the NDIA Cyber Division, which it co-chairs. For more information on the Cyber Division go to the NDIA Cyber Division web site page here.
Cyber Deterrence
| “When warranted, the United States will respond to hostile acts in cyberspace as we would to any other threat to our country.”
- International Strategy for Cyberspace, May 2011 |
|
The world is evolving technologically and culturally towards a cyber ecosystem within which deterrence can be an effective way of controlling and/or preventing cyber attacks. |
| “US playing dangerous game with 'cyber deterrence'”
- Yu Xiaoqiu from People's Daily, July 2011 |
|
Cyber attacks on government and commercial network and information systems are growing at a pace that exceeds our ability to defend against them. The volume of attacks on computer systems in both the public and private sectors has increased beyond the level where defensive measures alone can adequately assure their security. |

Purpose
Securing cyberspace looms as one of our most vexing security challenges. It is estimated that the value lost to cyber-crime and espionage globally may be well into the trillions of dollars. This is an unacceptable burden on already stressed economies.
Today technology continues to race ahead of the ability of policy and legal communities to keep up. International cooperation remains stubbornly difficult, both among governments as well as between them and the private sector, the natural leaders in everything cyber.[1]
AFEI hosted the first Cyber Deterrence conference in November of 2007 to examine the question of whether concepts of strategic deterrence could be applied to the cyber realm to dissuade potential adversaries from attacking U.S. networks.
The conference attendees concluded that there were two key obstacles to effective deterrence: effective attribution and the defining the nature of a response.
This conference will address:
- Whether, how, and to what extent the concepts of Strategic Deterrence (deny benefits, impose costs, and encourage restraint) can be applied to the challenges of cyber security
- The range of measures that can be applied to influence the cost-benefit calculations of potential cyber attackers so as to deter them from launching attacks
- The policy, doctrine, technology, and operational challenges of adopting a Cyber Deterrence strategy
- The desired role of the Defense Department in protecting America from cyber attack
- Domestic and international legal considerations of Strategic Cyber Deterrence
