Cyber Conflict below The “Threshold of War”: Cyber Weapons in Intelligence Contest

Summary/Abstract: This paper provides an overview of key findings in the international relations literature concerning conflicts between states in cyberspace. The main conclusions drawn from this literature suggest that, thus far, the “threshold of war” has not been crossed in cyber conflicts. Instead, what we are witnessing is a “gray zone,” characterized by state intelligence contest in cyberspace, manifesting through a multitude of acts of sabotage, subversion, and espionage. Furthermore, the paper presents specific examples of vulnerabilities exploited by actors in the cyber domain and the weaponry employed for such purposes. States have frequently resorted to such forms of weaponry in the previous decades. The aim of this paper is to contextualize how states operate in cyberspace within the broader environment of international relations.
