So the title of a book (published 2012) by a professor and often quoted subject matter expert! Someone sitting in an ivory tower?
The author is Thomas Rid, professor for strategic studies Johns Hopkins University/School of Advanced International Studies.
You better not listen to this fool!
Cyber warfare is a very real threat. Any power that can cripple the infrastructure or military operations of the enemy by using this new weapon surely has a serious advantage. What about surprise effect and first mover advantage?
Cyber warfare may also be used to constantly harass the enemy and to affect public opinion. This is actually already happening for some years! Western democracies are much more susceptible to this kind of attack than authoritarian regimes, which are, in turn, vulnerable to other factors.
