'Great Power Offensive Cyber Campaigns', co-authored by Greg Austin, Kai Lin Tay and Munish Sharma, is a comparative study of the offensive cyber operations of the United States, Russia and China based on ten case studies. Their leaders would have seen the value of the campaigns in terms of diplomatic signalling, including both as a demonstration of a capability and for the purposes of retaliation. At the same time, we found that none of the campaigns would have been seen by the perpetrators as an exercise in coercive diplomacy in the normal meaning of the term.
One of the most profound influences on the evolution of a country’s military cyber forces and strategies is politics. This paper, co-authored by Dr Greg Austin and Dr Jason Blessing, offers insights into how the governance and organisational factors of domestic politics facilitate or inhibit the dissemination of cyber concepts and capabilities throughout military forces beyond the main signals or cyber intelligence agency. This paper provides an impact matrix which can be used by governments, their armed forces and research analysts to understand the ways in which military cyber reforms can be facilitated or inhibited by governance and organisational processes

This book documents and explains civil defence preparations for national cyber emergencies in conditions of both peace and war. The volume analyses the escalating sense of crisis around state-sponsored cyber attacks that has emerged since 2015, when the United States first declared a national emergency in cyberspace. It documents a shift in thinking in the USA, from cooperative resilience-oriented approaches at national level to more highly regulated, state-led civil defence initiatives. Read more
