The Library of Sparta
summary
Claims that military doctrine supplies repeatable processes defenders can apply: adopt disciplined OPSEC and an intelligence cycle for predictive threat analysis; map cyber terrain with observation, cover, obstacles, key terrain and avenues of approach; exploit deception by placing honeypots inside perimeter and using denial to mislead attackers. Cites concrete lessons — Stuxnet analysis revealed links to Duqu, Operation Tovar exposed a Gameover Zeus operator via personal email — and historical cyber‑kinetic examples (Syrian air defenses, Georgia DDoS, centrifuge sabotage).
