‘David Fidler’s review of the contemporary complexities of cybersecurity law and its application comes at a critical time. He has hit the nail on the head in writing that “. . . governments extensively use policy and law in responding to cybersecurity threats” - while also underlining the limitations of both in today’s rapidly-evolving international system.’ BR>
