Eine neue SWP Sammelstudie zum Themenkomplex Nordkorea ist erschienen. Ich beschäftige mich darin in einem Kapitel mit der Frage, wie Nordkoreas Aktivitäten im digitalen Raum aussehen und wie sie sich verändert haben.

“In January 2018, as the German government was trying to cobble together a coalition, and the U.S. government found itself in a shut down, ten Americans and ten Germans committed to the transatlantic relationship considered how they could make their way to Munich, Germany, to find common ground on cybersecurity policy. The U.S. government opened for business just in time for the U.S. delegation to board their planes and trains, and a pause in the coalition negotiating room allowed Bundestag participation. In the context of three meetings in Munich, Berlin, and Washington, DC, the working group of American and German policymakers from the diplomatic, military, homeland security, legislative, academic, and tech communities met to talk about proposals to address threats posed by cyberwar and digital propaganda.”
The report of this working group is now published. It contains a piece by me about a taxonomy about what constitutes offensive and defensive cyber-activity.

Ob die von der Politik diskutierten Hackbacks tatsächlich feindliche Hacker abschrecken könnten, ist überaus fraglich. Angriffe im Digitalen gehorchen anderen Logiken – und erfordern andere Gegenmaßnahmen. Abschreckung funktioniert nur bedingt.… Weiterlesen auf www.sueddeutsche.de
After almost a year my PhD Thesis “From cyber-utopia to cyber-war: normative change in cyberspace” is now digitally published. You can find and download it for free here. I am currently in the process of editing a short book version for those of you who still read books. This will come out at a later point in time
Im Rahmen einer SWP Sammelstudie haben Raphael Bossong, Marcel Dickow und ich uns die Frage gestellt, was passieren würde, wenn polizeiliche Datenbanken der EU gehackt werden würden. Wir gehen dabei von den Trends der zunehmenden Datensammlung zu Zwecken der inneren Sicherheit aus, sowie der zunehmenden Verknüpfung dieser im Rahmen des Kampfes gegen den Terrorismus. Ausgehend von bekannten Datenlecks staatlicher Datenbanken (Equifax, OPM Breach, Schwedisches Verkehrsministerium), stellen wir uns die Frage, was passieren würde, wenn jemand nicht nur Daaten stiehlt sondern diese auch still und heimlich manipuliert. Je mehr Datenbanken es zur Entscheidungsfindung gibt, desto wahrscheinlicher wird ein Informationskrieg 2.0.

I have been selected to participate at the German Public Policy Institute’s Transatlantic Digital Debates Fellowship.
In recent years, debates between Germany and the US have heated up in the digital realm. Initially, surveillance was at the center. Since then, more facets have been added: discussions over transatlantic data transfers and the regulation of US technology companies are two recent examples.
Still, countries on both sides of the Atlantic face similar challenges as they deal with the impact of increasing digitization: changes in the public sphere due to social media; data-driven automation and implications for the job market; fighting cybercrime and increasing cybersecurity; protecting against influence operations and the increasing clout of authoritarian countries on global technology policy.
To build more long-term transatlantic cooperation, the Transatlantic Digital Debates (TDD) program fosters dialogue among future decision-makers.
