Grey zone of cyber-biological security / Dixon, Thom

Dixon, Thom	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The convergence of the life sciences with the information and computing sciences is beginning to generate novel security vulnerabilities. As scientific and technological advances occur, new security vulnerabilities are discovered and new methods for exploiting those vulnerabilities are developed. Novel cyber-biological capabilities are likely to enable technologically sophisticated states to develop new methods of grey zone warfare. This article provides context to this multidisciplinary area of research by reviewing the emerging field of cyberbiosecurity for its relevance to developments in grey zone warfare. This article then analyses two long-term trends that have influenced the development of contemporary cyber-biological capabilities. These two trends are advances in novel uses of biology and advances in computing, automation and biodesign. The capability to exploit vulnerabilities unique to the links between cyber and biological systems differs significantly from previous security concerns noted for biotechnology and the life sciences. Scholars and practitioners of international relations will need to develop an understanding of engineering biology and the bioeconomy in order to forecast methods of grey zone manoeuvre that rely on cyber-biological capabilities. This article offers an entry point for the scholar and practitioner so that they may bring their own disciplinary lens to the issue of grey zone ambiguity and cyberbiosecurity.

Summary/Abstract

In the twenty-first century we have seen a shift toward blurring of the lines between the states of war and peace. As we move ahead, we will witness more conflicts and not total all-out wars. The emphasis on achieving outcome of conflicts through non-military means is the new normal. This article examines if we are prepared for that and how should we go about it.
