The Global Cyber Game:

Achieving strategic resilience in the global knowledge society

Report author: Hardin Tibbs

Cyber Inquiry Team: Susan Ambler-Edwards, Michael J Corcoran, Hardin Tibbs

This report presents a synthesis of the findings of the Defence Academy Cyber Inquiry. This programme of work, based entirely on open source material, was designed to respond to a strategic research question posed by the Ministry of Defence. The Inquiry’s overall remit was first to consider the broad question ‘how should the cyber domain be conceptualized?’ and in the light of that to examine the implications for security strategy generally, the issues raised for state actors in the Internet age, new power relationships, possible sources and modes of future conflict, and the steps that need to be taken to prepare for a range of plausible possibilities. This report gives an overview of the Cyber Inquiry’s big-picture conclusions. It represents a cross-section through a highly multi-dimensional field of research and, inevitably, at this level of detail cannot do justice to the depth of research by the Inquiry into the many specific areas that contribute to a full understanding. Nevertheless, the Cyber Inquiry team believes that what is presented here is a balanced strategic assessment of the emerging meaning of security in the cyber era, clarifying the new meaning of security in a world that is now pervaded by networked digital computers. It does this, in part, by proposing the idea of the Global Cyber Game and Cyber Gameboard as a framework that can be used for practical thinking about cyber strategy, and it hopes this template may be persuasive and useful enough to be widely adopted and further developed.
