Governments representing open societies have failed to develop strategies for deterring hostile intrusions in cyberspace. New thinking on how to impose costs on offenders is long overdue.

Hostile disruptions in cyberspace represent a technological revolution in strategic affairs. This lecture will go beyond an examination of the roots and manifestations of the problem of technological unpeace, to ask what governments that represent open societies can do about it. The refinement of security strategy in Britain and elsewhere remains behind the times: our geopolitical adversaries are rapidly outpacing us. But this need not be the case - if only we push ourselves to think more creatively and boldly about the design of new strategy and policy.
