Abstract: I’ll talk about cyber counterattacks. The purpose of using active defenses is to stop a specific, immediate or ongoing cyber threat. Or even just signalling your strength to prevent further attacks. In most cases, passive defense is insufficient ensuring security, so an approach to eliminate the adversaries’ ability can be justified. Strategically. But how about the legal consequences? What are permissible uses of offensive cyber capabilities? What can you do when you notice an attack from a state or a non-state actor? What’s the legal framework applicable when states employ third parties? |
