This study turned the tables on a conventional understanding of the four instruments of national power (diplomacy, information, military and economic measures/D.I.M.E.) to see how potential adversaries could use these against the national security interests of Canada and the United States. Moreover, this particular work focuses on qualitative research regarding cyber threats that have continually beleaguered these nations by malevolent actors mostly over the last five years. This study also affords consideration to how nefarious individuals, non-state actors, or nation states can implement the instruments of national power through the application of a new model named the York Intelligence Red Team Model-Cyber (YIRTM-C) using sources guided by the Federal Qualitative Secondary Data Case Study Triangulation Model to arrive at results.
John Michael Weaver (DPA, University of Baltimore) is Associate Professor of Intelligence Analysis at York College of Pennsylvania (USA). Benjamin T. Johnson is a PH.D. candidate in the field of political science at York University in Toronto (Canada).

“This is a timely book. The authors provide an excellent introduction to cyber security and how this important topic is handled in both the United States and Canada. The authors convey clearly how potential adversaries, whether state actors or non-state actors, employ different power tools in the cyber domain. These actors use asymmetric means in order to infiltrate and exploit cyber vulnerabilities in North America, most notably in the information domain. In presenting a simplified model and through a documented qualitative study, the book provides an overview to the reader on what to look out for and how to understand cyber security challenges in the United States and Canada.”
—Tom Røseth, Associate Professor of Intelligence Studies, Norwegian Defence University College
“Wars of the future will be based on cyberattacks costing billions of dollars, destabilizing entire countries, and undermining democratic countries. Weaver and Johnson explain how cyber attacks are the single greatest threat to the national security of Canada and the United States. This book captures the use of cyber attacks in banking, elections, electrical grids, health care, and telecommunications. It is a fight over power, dominance, and control of the world stage. A must read for anyone interested in public administration and international affairs.”
—Lorenda Naylor, Associate Professor and Director, University of Baltimore
