As governments seek to confront today’s complex and evolving threat landscape, they are experimenting with distinct approaches to safeguarding national cybersecurity. This webinar compares seven key countries’ national cybersecurity strategies to determine the most effective and innovative policy approaches to inform global standards. The countries assessed are Australia, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each country’s strategy document was analyzed using a 70-point framework to identify leaders, innovators, and underperformers in each category. The analysis was supplemented by over 35 officials and nongovernment experts representing all countries in the study. External factors like a country’s political context and threat environment were considered. Tailored recommendations for each country were included, noting specific gaps needing remediation and opportunities for policy improvement. The goal was to offer guidance for practitioners to develop more robust cybersecurity strategies in the future and a template for strategists in countries lacking one.
This webinar will feature the following:
- Evaluating national cybersecurity strategies to identify the most effective and innovative policy approaches to inform global standards.
- Using a relative scoring system that highlights overall trends rather than providing specific numbers to countries.
- Using a comprehensive evaluation rubric with 70 elements organized into five categories to capture the central issues of cybersecurity strategy.
