Stuxnet and Cyber Deterrence
August 13, 2012 Added by:Robert M. Lee
Stuxnet showed that a nation-state was capable and willing to use an advanced cyber weapon against an adversary.

We have opened Pandora’s box and there is no way to get what has escaped back in. We have given the weapon framework away due to the nature of the carrier.
