About this course
Satellites, nuclear submarines, power plants, voting data, and your private data are all online and vulnerable. State and non-state actors alike have proven willing to exploit these vulnerabilities, bringing the world to a state of perpetual hidden conflict. Espionage, intrusion into critical infrastructure, and destructive cyber incidents happen daily. What does this entail for our understanding of peace in the cyber age and future warfare? Analyze the operational, legal, and political aspects with practitioners in the field.
