Is Cyber Deterrence Possible?

Part of the focus is developing a strategy for deterring adversaries from attacking our networks in the first place.

This effort has led to much debate around the question of whether cyber deterrence is even possible. Answering this question is difficult since the number of adversary groups capable of attacking US Networks is large and our ability to deter each group will vary based on its motives and levels of risk tolerance.

The United States should not expect this cyber deterrence strategy to achieve the kind of results seen with our nuclear deterrent strategy during the Cold War. However, a limited US Cyber deterrence strategy is possible to be effective. This strategy must be multi-layered and use all instruments of US national power.
