We argue that relevant existing discourses have failed to describe the essence of stability or instability of cyberspace, despite some enlightening arguments that are beneficial for further discussion. We believe a new theoretical framework is needed to define the stability of cyberspace from a structural perspective, through which coordinating core interests of sovereign states is both possible and an effective instrument for managing threats in global cyberspace. Cyberspace has been viewed over time as a space of instability as a result of the rising risks of asymmetric strikes that technology-dependent countries are facing. In this theory, the popularization of information technology and the low costs of launching cyber attacks prompt actors like revisionist countries and non-state actors to target advanced countries. Lucas Kello (2013) has summarized the mechanism, pointing out that instability derives from technical characteristics of cyber offense and defense, including offense dominance, attribution difficulties, technological volatility, poor strategic depth, escalatory ambiguity, as well as low barriers for actors to enter cyberspace. Some Chinese scholars (Ren, 2014) also stress this logic leading to strategic instability in cyberspace, which is widely expressed as “cyber Pearl Harbor” or “cyber 9/11”. This theory defines instability of cyberspace as a status that some states or non-state actors may take advantage of cyber technology to launch asymmetric attack against developed countries, which in turn has a huge impact on the existing order in the real world. Criticisms arise in recent years towards this perception of strategic instability in cyberspace, claiming that it exaggerates the effect that cyber attacks can exert. Erik Gartzke (2013) made an effort of “bringing war in cyberspace back down to earth” by demonstrating that cyberwar alone cannot meet the objectives that can be achieved through traditional military violence. Gartzke and Lindsay (2015) then refuted the proposition of offense dominance in cyberspace by advocating the function of deception strategy. Based on these arguments, cyber deterrence is thought of as a credible instrument for dealing with cyber attacks (Shen and Jiang, 2018). While accepting this view, we disagree with the idea that misperception of the dynamics of cyber offense and defense means an exaggeration of instability in cyberspace, and believe instability is rooted in the very structure of cyberspace1, which contains misperceptions and divergences among state actors. The international society is still far away from forming a consensus on principles of conducting cyber offense and defense, notwithstanding the rising assertion on limitations of cyber attacks, let alone contradictions on more issues including the role of state actors in cyberspace and the approach of defining interests of different actors. In this situation, the main reason for cyber attacks among state actors becomes misjudgments about actors of other states and the vision that attacks are superior to defense in cyberspace, rather than ideological divergence between advanced countries and revisionist states. As a result, with developing countries increasing their dependence on information technology, any country and actor can become the victim of cyber attacks. Events in Estonia, Iran, Russia, France, and the United States represent this situation: 1 The term “structure” used here is used in the framework of the theory of International relations in which it is mainly defined by the distribution of power among different actors, mainly represented by the nation-state. BRIEFING 1 7 ADAPTATIONS TO ENHANCE THE STABILITY OF CYBERSPACE none of these states could afford to tolerate those behaviors produced in cyberspace to affect their national security via either attacks on infrastructure or via organized manipulation of social media during a critical domestic political process. That is the main reason we should focus more on how to find a pragmatic path toward building strategic stability in cyberspace. To define from a structural perspective, instability of cyberspace could be understood as a certain digital version of the anarchy in the real world. Although states still seek self-preservation and maintenance of security and stability of property in cyberspace, they

    Analysis Report iTrust-Analysis-001 May 2016 BlackEnergy - Malware for Cyber-Physical Attacks About iTrust iTrust is a multidisciplinary research centre located in the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), established collaboratively by SUTD and the Ministry of Defence, Singapore (MINDEF). The focus of iTrust is on cyber security, spanning across three research areas: a. Cyber Physical System (CPS); b. Enterprise Networking / Security; and c. Internet of Things (IoT). iTrust researchers focus on the development of advanced tools and methodologies to ensure security and safety of current and future cyber physical systems and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Systems of interest include large infrastructure of national importance such as power grid, water treatment, and oil refineries as well as cyber-devices such as smart watches, pacemakers, defibrillators, insulin pumps, and VNS implants. Cyber physical systems is one of the many areas we are working on. The focus of the proposed research is to improve our understanding of cyber threats to CPSs and to develop and experiment with strategies to mitigate such threats. Our approach is based on well understood technical foundations borrowed from the interdisciplinary fields of control theory, artificial intelligence, game theory, networking, and software engineering. The techniques propose will be evaluated against, and demonstrated in our Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) Testbed, Water Distribution System (WADI) testbed, and Electric Power and Intelligent Control (EPIC) testbed. Similarly, shielded room laboratory for IoT research. iTrust researchers are drawn from across SUTD and with a strong collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), enrich the depth, breadth, and quality of research.

  • Cyber-Terrorism Activities Report No. 16 January
    ICT Cyber-Desk PERIODIC REVIEW Cyber-Terrorism Activities Report No. 16 January – March 2016 Highlights This report covers the period of January - March 2016 and covers two main subjects: cyber-terrorism (offensive, defensive, and the media, and the main topics of jihadist discourse) and cyber-crime, whenever and wherever it is linked to jihad (funding, methods of attack). The following are among the issues covered in this report: The continuing trend of publishing information security guidelines and recommendations, including information and recommendations for correct methods of operation and software manuals, or services with a high encryption or anonymity level. Terrorist organizations continue to publish information about the dangers of intelligence and law enforcement officials who operate on the Internet to search for and locate terrorism supporters. In addition, all supporters are called on to continue spreading the organizations’ messages and guidelines for proper work. Officials in jihadist organizations continue to spread Best Practice guidebooks on the Internet and guidelines for using software and applications to increase information security. These are mainly used to encrypt data on the device and/or for data trafficking and maintaining the anonymity of Internet users. In addition, manuals for video processing are found. As previously stated, in recent years organizations have been using a wide range of software in order to create visual content at a professional level. Terrorists and terrorism supporters continue to hack Internet sites, especially as part of defacement attacks. In January 2016, Islamic State activists tried to recruit hackers to hack into government databases for pay. In February 2016, a television interview in Lebanon reported the existence of a Shi’ite hacker group, affiliated with Hezbollah, named Kadimon (translation – we are coming).

Most of these events are not reported to the public and their details along with their associated threats are not as well-known as those involving enterprise (information technology) systems. This chapter presents an analysis of publicly-reported cyber incidents involving critical infras- tructure assets. The list of incidents is by no means comprehensive.
