Abstract
While the concept of red lines is relatively well-documented and discussed in areas of research surrounding deterrence and acts of war, the term cyber red lines is rather complicated and fairly immature in the research. Recognizing the ongoing challenges surrounding the red line term in a cyber context, this article seeks to define such a threshold within gray-zone cyber operations to determine an appropriate situation when the US Department of Defense could and should respond to state or nonstate actor operations that manifest as a cyberattack. The article also seeks to clarify what is meant by the term cyber gray zone.
