London: Notwithstanding serious concerns about cyber security across the world, a new study conducted at the Oxford Internet Institute says that a cyber war is an unlikely scenario. Heavy lobbying, lurid language and poor analysis are inhibiting government planning for cyber protection, according to the new report on Systemic Cyber Security published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The study by Dr Ian Brown of the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), University of Oxford, and Professor Peter Sommer of the London School of Economics concludes that it is highly unlikely there will ever be a pure 'cyber war' fought solely in cyberspace with equivalent effects to recent wars in Afghanistan, the Balkans or the Middle East. The report, part of a wider OECD project on Future Global Shocks, is aimed at governments, global businesses and policy makers.
