Background

North Korea has come a long way in developing credible cyber warfare capabilities which threaten some of the world’s most advanced nations–including the Republic of Korea, Japan, and the United States. These new developments have made the country capable of building military organizations tasked with cyber warfare missions and training cyber warriors.

What are the potential outcomes of a fully capable North Korea in the cyber sphere? What does North Korea hope to gain from their newly developed capabilities? How will cyber warfare change the face of security on the Korean peninsula?
