The US National Cybersecurity Strategy, launched in March 2023, significantly changes the government’s vision regarding the fight against cyber threats and has encouraged the US to work internationally with ally countries.
Andy Williams, CEO of Global Transatlantic Ltd and co-founder of the Transatlantic Cybersecurity Business Network (TCBN), outlined key takeaways from the plan during CRESTCon Europe, in London on May 18, 2023.
He mentioned that, to realize this vision, the US government acknowledged the need to make two fundamental shifts in how it allocates roles, responsibilities and resources in cyberspace:
- Moving the burden of cybersecurity away from individuals, small businesses and local governments and onto organizations that specialize in fighting cyber incidents
- Realign incentives to favor long-term investments in cybersecurity
With these two new objectives in mind, he said, the US government has also realized it needs to engage in international initiatives.
