Cyber Deterrence Done Right: The Coordinated Actions Against Huawei
By marshalling the collective power of its allies, the U.S. may have finally found a model for imposing costs on cyber adversaries.
Excerpt
An arrest in Canada. Another in Poland. Government bans in Canberra, Wellington, and Tokyo. Corporate snubs and ostracism in South Korea, Britain, Germany, and France. The loss of purchase orders by one of the world’s largest wireless providers. And now a 13-count indictment by the U.S. Justice Department. It has been a bad few months for Chinese telecommunication titan Huawei. Unleashing the collective power of its democratic allies, the United States may have finally found the formula for imposing real costs on its cyber adversaries.
