Cyber Warfare

This is my MA International Relations Dissertation Project where I investigate the threat of Cyber Warfare in 2021. The threat assessment was conducted through data analysis of publicly known state-sponsored cyber attacks from 2004. Additionally, qualitative secondary literature research was conducted by analysing a series of recent reports and newspaper articles. My analysis demonstrates that state-sponsored cyber operations pose a serious threat to today's global security. This dissertation concludes that the prospect of cyber warfare is a real threat political actors should be concerned with.
