States may be willing to launch cyber-operations, but first they must build the capacity for such attacks--Smeets examines the opportunities and obstacles in this process.
Max Smeets is Senior Researcher at the Center for Security Studies, Zurich; Director of the European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative; and an affiliate at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation. He publishes widely on cyber-statecraft, strategy and risk, including in The Washington Post, War on the Rocks and Slate.
