<p>The debate over cyber technology has resulted in new considerations for national security operations. States find themselves in an increasingly interconnected world with a diverse threat spectrum and little understanding of how decisions are made within this amorphous domain.<br><br>With<i> The Decision to Attack</i>, Aaron Franklin Brantly investigates how states decide to employ cyber in military and intelligence operations against other states and how rational those decisions are. In his examination, Brantly contextualizes broader cyber decision-making processes into a systematic expected utility'rational choice approach to provide a mathematical understanding of the use of cyber weapons at the state level.<br><br>Discussed:<br> The Key Concepts of Cyber<br> The Motivation and Utility for Covert Action <br> Digital Power<br> Anonymity and Attribution in Cyberspace<br> Cyber and Conventional Operations:<br> The Dynamics of Conflict<br> Defining the Role of Intelligence in Cyberspace <br> How Actors Decide to Use Cyber'a Rational<br> Choice Approach<br> Cognitive Processes and Decision-Making<br> in Cyberspace<br> Finding Meaning in the Expected Utility of<br> International Cyber Conflict</p>
Industry Reviews
Aaron Brantly's The Decision to Attack: Military and Intelligence Cyber Decision-Making provides an authoritative framework to understand this type of decision made by unitary state actors. He masterfully provides the empirical evidence and theoretical foundation for an expected utility rational choice decision making model for the instigation of cyber attacks. . . . The Decision to Attack is definitely worthwhile.-- "International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence"
