Description

In Cyber Persistence Theory: Redefining National Security in Cyberspace, co-authors Michael Fischerkeller, Emily Goldman, and Richard Harknett propose a new paradigm for understanding cyberspace competition, a new lexicon, and a new strategic approach. They argue for a break with deterrence as the guiding strategy for cyberspace, which has proven to be ineffective in addressing the vast preponderance of cyberspace activity which occurs below the level of armed conflict. Although America’s adversaries were the first to recognize and act in accordance with the logic of cyber persistence, U.S. military cyberspace operations are now aligned with this approach and the next step is for whole-of-nation adoption.

Join us as Drs. Emily Goldman and Michael Fischerkeller discuss the future of cyberspace strategy with Heritage’s Dustin Carmack.
