Srsly Risky Biz: Europe's Cyber Bullets Can't Replace Political Will

European officials including the European Commission and NATO leadership are calling for increased offensive cyber capabilities to strike back against adversaries like Russia and China. However, analysts note that Europe already possesses sufficient technical options to conduct offensive cyber operations, suggesting the barrier is political will rather than capability.

Why it matters: European security leaders and policymakers need to understand that cyber deterrence depends on demonstrated willingness to act, not additional technical capacity, which affects strategy for responding to state-sponsored threats.
