Abstract

With the development of nuclear weapons and countries’ abilities to launch destructive attacks, cyber warfare has become a new alternative for future forms of conflicts. This paper will discuss the concept of cyber warfare and the reasons why it constitutes a serious threat to international security from four perspectives. We will examine reasons include inefficient deterrence to harmful cyber attacks, limitation in legislation which leads to a lack of solution, the tendency of cyber attacks to escalate and its threat to politics. It will also conduct an analysis of the future of cyber warfare, including possible undesirable outcomes and difficulties in finding solutions.
