ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that the systems on which sovereign states currently rely to maintain order cannot be modified, improved and/or fixed in ways that will make them effective against unrestricted cyberthreats. The United States' Cyber Commands represent an approach to threat control that has worked well enough in the physical world but cannot be effective against cyberthreats. That possibility aside, it is reasonable to believe that it still need regular military forces to protect from real-space war and conventional law enforcement agencies to protect us from real-space crime. The chapter explains a rigid, hierarchical approach that divides threat control authority among a series of government agencies. It logically resulted in an increased emphasis on the need to control the territory, and the persons and property within it, from attacks by persons in the state's territory and by other nation-states.
