Abstract

The chapter delves into the pervasive nature of cyber-enabled technologies in modern conflicts, with a particular focus on the Korean Peninsula. It highlights the asymmetry strategy employed by North Korea, which leverages cyber capabilities to counter the superior conventional military power of South Korea and its allies. The chapter explores North Korea's use of cybercrime and cyberterror during peacetime, as well as its potential deployment of cyber weapons in case of conflict. It also reviews existing arms control agreements and assesses their applicability to the cyber realm, suggesting that a cyber arms control agreement could play a crucial role in enhancing stability and facilitating peace and reconciliation between the two Koreas.
