A lot may rest on this debate and subsequent outcome, having far reaching consequences for more than just the military. There is no agreed definition at least in the eyes of the law and international convention, of what defines cyber warfare.

Whilst it may not necessary seem a big issue, it could have far reaching consequences especially when it comes to your cyber insurance polices. Some of the largest hacks over the past 10 years have arguably had some nation state involvement.

The 2017 NotPetya incident kicked off a big debate on whether the cyber-attack was an act of war. Which under most insurance contracts is disputed. Leading to a number of court cases, not least Mondelez vs. Zurich, working their way through US courts. (https://lnkd.in/enKFrKW).

Whilst there appears to be a de-escalation of US-Iranian physical military intervention in the Middle East. The threat of cyber-attacks remains for the time being. This is a debate which does not appear to be going away.
