Worth reading, if not debating here. 'Cyber security: Why military forces should take a back seat' a blog article from the Australian Lowy Institute is worthy of a read. It ends with:
....we should be wary of any rhetoric, like ‘cyberwar’, that desensitises us to the mis-employment of the military to address a threat that, in fact, needs to be dealt with in less risky and more sustainable ways.
