Project Title

For the Roundtable on Military Cyber Stability

Date

Dec. 14, 2023

Duration

24 months

Description

Understanding the risks of cyber competition among the three leaders in military cyber power—the United States, Russia, and China—is critical to international security. The Round Table on Military Cyber Stability (RMCS) brings together some 40 practitioners, academics, former government officials, experts, and technologists from the United States, Russia, China, and other countries, into regular virtual and in-person discussions of issues relevant to strategic cyber stability. With renewed support, RMCS will continue to serve as a mechanism for fostering essential interactions aimed at mitigating the threats posed by cyber technologies in such areas as nuclear command and control systems, space systems, and artificial intelligence. The discussions will result in publications and outreach to respective governments.

Project Title

For the Roundtable on Military Cyber Stability

Date

Jun. 09, 2022

Duration

18 months

Description

As societies have come to rely on modern information and communications technologies, new potential sources of error and instability are being introduced into military systems, operations, and force postures. By analogy to the nuclear era, there is a need again to develop shared understandings across the major powers of how to manage the cyber instabilities that could arise from cyber attacks, errors in information systems, interactions of complex systems, misunderstood doctrines, third party actors, changing assumptions underpinning previously stable force postures, and more. The Roundtable on Military Cyber Stability (RMCS), administered by Igarape Inc, provides a vehicle for U.S., Russian, and Chinese scholars and practitioners to discuss cyber security and generate risk mitigation and confidence building measures.

Project Title

For a roundtable on military cyber stability

Date

Sep. 10, 2020

Duration

20 months

Description

At a time of rising geopolitical tension among major powers, a long-standing project formerly housed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will seek to enhance military cyber stability by identifying mechanisms of instability and developing international, cooperative risk mitigation strategies for them. With support to transfer the administration of the project from MIT to founding project member, Igarape Institute, the Roundtable on Military Crisis Stability will continue to organize non-governmental and open-source roundtable discussions on topics relevant to cyber stability, insecurity dilemmas, crisis stability, misperception and miscalculation, and international security architectures. It will involve practitioners and experts from the United States, Russia, and China, and will result in published reports and briefings.
