Why Can’t Cyber Scholars Move Beyond the Basics?
National Interest

Abstract
The most exciting part of the scientific process and research is the process of discovery and figuring out something that you did not know before. Being a scholar and researcher is about feeling stupid from time to time, scratching at the edges of knowledge to push the field further. The struggle for many observers and scholars in the cybersecurity community is that it’s difficult to feel stupid. There are few challenging questions in cybersecurity, rather, the truly remarkable thing about cybersecurity is the complete lack of novelty. The questions are always the same and rarely evolve. Is this a cyber war? Can cyber deterrence work? Will cyber operations help states during wars and change the nature of warfare?
